Our trip to Istanbul & Amsterdam

This trip was taken one week before our wedding, sorry I'm just not getting around to posting pictures on here..it was a FANTASTIC trip and we loved both places we went..We always travel with Dane's sister Kana, she makes everything more fun:) we usually travel to two different countries in one trip to make the most out of our time and we always pick a favorite after the vacation...this time, we couldn't pick a favorite..we loved them both equally! :)

ISTANBUL

Funny story about this picture..we were so jet-lagged that we took long naps during the day (hit it hard in the morning, then sleep, then go out again at night) well..we must have not realized how tired we really were on the first day b/c we sleep completely through dinner..woke up at 10:45 pm and nowhere was open around us...so we had these snacks in our hotel which became our fabulous dinner for that night:)

AMSTERDAM

Anne Frank's hideout for 2 years, the Annex was so cool inside (wasn't allowed to take pictures)

The line to go into the Frank Annex..

Any type of food you could think of, Amsterdam had it

My beverage of choice while being in Europe

Public urinal outside for all to see in the middle of a square..and it was used right before this picture was snapped...ewwww

The ORIGINAL red light district
