Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo turned out to be quite an ordeal.
And so did finding our way home again.
Road works, detours and fighting kids.

Just for clarity:  Nemo as in the Science Museum in Amsterdam - not some sunny, positive little orange fish in Sydney, Australia.
More's the pity.

There is lots to do in Amsterdam on this one degree Celsius-day, and for that I am grateful.


But, the city lacks a gentility and kindness that I crave.

The boys had fun, Son#1 participated in a lab experiment - complete with lab goggles and white coat, Son#2 and #3 fiddled with buttons and whatnot to their little hearts' content.


 And they had good coffee and a decent restaurant where we sat while Son#2 and #3 toddled off to press aforementioned buttons.


Pity about our stress levels and fights and inability to handle noise in confined spaces.
I so wish we could actually enjoy spending time together.

Sigh.
