Let's go to Amsterdam

Hi! My name is Violet and I am 8 years old. I went on a trip to Amsterdam with my family. It was super fun! We visited a place called the Rijksmuseum. It's a huge museum with lots of paintings and stuff. My favorite part was seeing the paintings by someone named Rembrandt. He is really famous and lived a long time ago.

At the Rijksmuseum, we saw a super cool painting called "The Night Watch." It's very big and has lots of people in it. The people look like they are ready to go on an adventure. I learned that Rembrandt painted it a long time ago in the 1600s. There were other paintings too, but "The Night Watch" was my favorite.

We also walked around the city and saw the canals. There were lots of boats and bikes everywhere. Amsterdam is really pretty and has lots of old buildings. I had ice cream and we took lots of pictures. I can't wait to tell my friends all about it!
