In 2019 Alfred and Theresa made two trips to Holland. The first one was in May. Unexpected - Alfred's mom had a significant operation. Visited her in the hospital, and we were there when she was transferred to a nursing home for further recovery.
Keenan and Chloe insisted we take their favorite dolls for comfort.
That trip, we also went to tour Alkmaar, and celebrated his brother's upcomming retirement.
The second trip was planned - in September.
By that time Alfred's mom was fully recovered, and back in her own home.
This trip included a visit to Zeeland, to attend a Jobse Family Reunion, an opportunity to see the statue of Michiel de Ruyter, walk the boulevard, watch Alfred's uncle play in the Jazz Festival.
Toured the old city of Alkmaar and had the "Offical Retirement Party" for my brother, which included a real live beer tap. A great time was had by all.
The trip back was interesting - flight was cancelled, so we stayed one extra night in an Amsterdam Airport Hotel, and had several re-routes. But, we did make it home, and KLM covered all the costs and payed the delay fees.
