Amsterdam, 30, the marathon, where's Meg?

We've had the last week+ off work as we went to Amsterdam for a music festival with our friend Nikki. We had tons of fun (nothing we can't tell Mom about!), time to walk around and think, then came back and Meg and I have had a lazy few days just hanging out about the house. Just in time for ...

Meg has promised to write about what all we did there, so that'll be all from me.
