At the end of July, I reported here that we would be traveling to Leeuwarden in the Netherlands with the entire ProjectWizards team for a workation. Now that we've been back for a few days, it's time to summarize our time together.
Our boss, Frank Blome, sent a rough plan for the workation to everyone before they arrived:

Have fun and enjoy yourselves.
