April: Easter Break~ Dutch B&B

We stayed at a very quaint B&B about 45 minutes from the Keukenhof gardens.  We were near the town of Nieuwkoop, but stayed at a B&B surrounded by lots of tranquil farmland.   The owners were incredibly warm and helpful in assisting us with dinner and activities for the next day.  Upon our arrival, they graciously greeted us with a bottle of wine.  So we took advantage of their garden patio and enjoyed it.

The farm next to the B&B property was showcasing its own Keukenhof tulip fields.

We always seem to find properties that have sweet dogs!

The lamb is cute, the momma- not so much (with her STARE )


 
For dinner, we walked down to a wonderful restaurant in the town.

rather than driveways, they have bridges to their homes  :)

 
Good night!


 
clever!
