This review is from: Rollerblading Through Holland: Adventures with Grandchildren (Hardcover)

Last year we were planning a trip to the Netherlands and found this book to be a quick, entertaining read. An athletic grandpa with plenty of guts takes his granddaughter and a young woman friend on a rollerblading vacation around Holland! (They have done other physically challenging vacations in the past which he has also written about.) It chronicles their preparations as well as the sites they saw and specifics about where they stayed and ate and even packing lists. Granddaughter ate ice creams daily! You could too if you skated 20 miles per day! It is written in journal form with lots of fun, personal stories about the games they played while skating and in their rooms. I actually did pick up a suggestion or two; specifically their visit to a dam inspired us to go to the very interesting Neeltje Jans, part of the Delta project which keeps the country from flooding. They had a great time together and it is getting me thinking about maybe taking my grandchildren on vacations when they are older.
