A few years ago, I had the chance to visit the Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, FL. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been strangely fascinated by the Holocaust, the Nazi regime, and everything else that went on during World War II. I spent about 2 hours by myself at the museum, reading everything there, and just sitting in quiet thought for a while. If you ever get the chance to go, the museum is excellent, and really makes you think.

The next thing I’d like to do is visit Amsterdam and see the house where Anne Frank hid in the attic. I’ve read several books about her throughout the years, and she just captures me. I have three children, and the thought of hiding in a small annex with them for the time period that Anne’s family hid away - well, I can only imagine how hard it was. Jim went to Amsterdam a few years ago, and I’m not sure if he went to see where they lived or not. I think he was too busy being the other sites of Amsterdam! Since it was a guys trip, they just wanted a cheap hotel in Amsterdam, so that they’d have more money for indulging in some good beer…LOL! Aside from the Anne Frank house, there are a lot of other things to see in Amsterdam. The canals are beautiful, there are many parks and clubs, great shopping, and a very laid back atmosphere for such a cosmopolitan city. If we go, I want to stay in a much nicer hotel than my husband and his buddies chose - maybe one of the Amsterdam hotels bordering the canals!
