Spring break this year was a road trip: out of Barcelona, through France as per usual, a stop in Luxembourg, and north to meet Lilly in Haarlem. From there the days ran together in the good way: a lakeside spot outside Amsterdam you could only reach by boat, Madurodam (my favorite place when I was three, and still cool!), wandering Ghent and Antwerp, and good coffee where we could sit in the sun and just be together.
We folded in a few university tours for Cameron along the way, the official reason for the trip. The unofficial reasons: the wine bars, family time, boating, and loving the Low Countries.
The trip ended at Spa-Francorchamps, where we all stood above Eau Rouge for a while before splitting up. Cam and I peeled off to drive home; Kate and Lilly carried on to Paris and Bruges to meet the Camerons. Shots are a mix of Leica and iPhone, which is to say a mix of the photos I meant to take and the ones I just grabbed along the way.
