Muse...Uhhm...Guys?

So today is our first full day in Amsterdam and it is an absolutely gorgeous day out.  So we decided to go a Museum-ing...  

We figured why not, and have I mentioned that this town is made of cute!





It did take some convincing to get me off the Houseboat because I mean, it’s a house that’s a boat in Amsterdam!

After sleeping on the boat we all had sea legs and were stumbling about a bit, or as they in Amsterdam, you have a case of the “Amster-whams”, since you tend to just bump into everything as you go.

But it's Museum O'Clock!



We first headed to the Ruiks Museum, absolutely no idea what that means, I think its Dutch for “big ass Museum”, because it was huge!


We decided to do the 90 minute guided tour because let’s be honest, we probably wont be able to pay attention for more than that, if we can even pay attention that long.


So we started the tour and of course we got lost. And we saw some nice pictures, like "Lady with a Milk Jug...



And "Dudes with Big Hats"...


The Museum was pretty interesting but after about 20 minutes all the paintings started to look the same, so yep you guessed it, we started doing bits. 






 We saw a pretty cool boat...



It didn't care for Jeff...


Next we grabbed a bite to eat because it was beautiful out...







Then headed over to the Van Gogh Museum...



Again it was a very nice Museum but we are dumb Americans and everything started to blend together here as well. 




We all started to get sort of loopy by this point, but there was just something about the Van Gogh Museum, I felt such a connection to it, almost like we left a part of ourselves there...



But I’ve gotta say, I thought Amsterdam was known for it’s canals, but it seems like they have a freaking Museum for everything…

From Tulips…To Houseboats...



To Torture…




To Sex…








How far have we walked today? The Louvre is in Paris?


And then there was this, Museum…


Of Cheese, honestly, who needs a freaking cheese museum?



It turns out Jeff did…



And it is sort of my worst nightmare…


By this point I am 100% Museum-ed out, or as they say in Amsterdam, “Amster-damned”

All I wanted to do was go back to our little Houseboat and hang out and enjoy the beautiful sunny day, so that’s what we did. 




Now we are just going to relax and meet up later tonight with Kati, her girlfriend Macarena and Asna’s cousin Mayannah.  I’m sure once we are all together, shenanigans will ensue.
