Delft and Scheveningen

I realized this post is a bit out of order, but in early October we took a day-trip to the quaint town of Delft. Delft is best known for it's blue and white porcelain, but this peaceful Dutch town has so much more to offer. We enjoyed wandering along the canals and visiting the New Church where Dutch ruler William I of Orange is buried.  

  I love that you can sit and eat your sandwich right on the canal.

From Delft we took the tram through The Hague to reach the "Dutch Coney Island." The story goes that during WWII Dutch Soldiers would ask visitors to pronounce Scheveningen to weed out potential German spies. We happened to catch one of the last sunny days of the season and the kids enjoyed playing in the water and riding the carousel.
