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.

Mauritshuis and Miffy
On our first full day in The Hague, we visited Mauritshuis, which houses the Royal Cabinet of Paintings. On display are over 800 works from the Dutch Golden Age of the seventeenth century. We also find a relic that sparks many happy memories from primary school days: Miffy, who is also known as Nijntje.
Den Haag
In this first in a six-part series, the Cranky Camper family heads to the Netherlands and stays in The Hague. Famous for being a seat of international and Dutch politics, there is much to learn, explore, and appreciate in The Hague. We also share a few practical things we learned on our visit.
LA Weekends: Hey Hollywood!
The Cranky Campers celebrate the start of the summer solstice in true LA style. We attended the second night of Noah Kahan's "We'll All Be Here Forever" set at the Hollywood Bowl, then returned to Griffith Park to hike up to the famed Hollywood sign and visit the Batcave.
Joshua Tree: Halls of Horrors and Cholla Gardens
In honor of Junior Ranger Day, we spent a lovely spring Saturday in Joshua Tree National Park. We explored more of the park, visiting the popular rock formation called Hall of Horrors and hiked among the interesting desert plants of the Cholla Cactus Garden.
