Yesterday we visited Madurodam--a miniature version of famous Dutch sites all made to scale. It's a tourist attraction that my parents took me and my sisters to visit when we were girls, now I got to take my mom and my girls to see the new and improved version. After months of re-construction, it has re-opened to the public.
Here's a sample of the miniature sites and some of the actual buildings that we've seen in full size:
 |
| Train station and moving trains--it's how we are getting all over Holland. |
 |
| Schipol Airport--with baggage carts and KLM planes |
 |
Utrecht's famous Dom Tower
with 465 steps to the top! |

| Who's miniature now?! That's Ana and Mia waving from the front of the Stadhuis to give a perspective of how impressive it really is! |
We even met Rembrandt--one of the many famous Dutch artists!
