Whereas I've never been to Holland, I feel a strong connection to this country because of my family's history. My dad's parents immigrated to the United States from Holland when they were teens, and what I know of Holland I learned from them. Since tulips, windmills and wooden shoes are symbolic to this country, I felt sentimental as I visited a local tulip farm with my girls.
