On our summer 2025 trip to London, we once again visited the British Museum. Spanning nearly the breadth of human history, the museum houses over 2 million artifacts- including some that involve controversy. This post contains updated photos, along with a brief synopsis of the controversy associated with the Parthenon sculptures.

A Day in Greenwich
On our summer trip to Europe, we made Greenwich our home base for London adventures. This borough in southeast London is of great importance to British maritime history, with the Greenwich meridian setting the standard for navigation and time zones across the globe.
Keukenhof
Hailed as the world’s 'most beautiful spring garden,' Keukenhof celebrates the short blooming season of bulbed spring flowers. From daffodils and hyacinths to the Netherlands’ famous tulips, Keukenhof explodes with vibrant colors and one-of-a-kind varieties of flowers throughout the month of April.
Amsterdam
In the fifth post of the Netherlands series, the Cranky Camper family visits Amsterdam, the bustling, historic capital of the Netherlands. Highlights include the Van Gogh Museum, shopping, and Amsterdam's many canals. Included in this post is a bonus summary of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert at Johann Cruijff Arena.
Delft
After a late night in Amsterdam, the Cranky Campers spend a low-key day in the historic canal city of Delft. While the summer weather thwarted some of our plans, we still had a wonderful time exploring, eating, and shopping in Delft.
