Winter Efteling

Mark had been given some gift coupons for his many years of service with EMC, and we decided to use them and treat the family to a weekend away at Winter Efteling!
Efteling is a fairy tale amusement park (learn about it at www.efteling.nl, see our prior trip there) which opens up for a few weekends around Christmas - our package deal included the entrance tickets to the park as well as a night at the Queen Waalwijk, a very nice business hotel just a few kilometers down the road from Efteling.

Despite the fact that it was a cold and somewhat rainy day, the kids had a great time!  We stayed until the park closed at 10pm and then we were very happy to return a nice warm hotel room (together with a very nice breakfast buffet the next morning)

What could be better when you're cold than a nice warm bath???
