Visting An Important National Monument, Amsterdam’s City Hall Urinal!

City HallThe last time I flew (thanks COVID-19) was in February when Lucas and I took a Father-Son Trip to the Netherlands.

Whenever we visit another country, we love checking out McDonald’s to see what locally inspired menu items are offered. Continue reading What Did We Try At McDonald’s The Netherlands
