Fall Break-Part One

This post is very tardy as I waited for Kelly to share all the great photos she took...she likes to take pics but getting them off her camera takes an act of Congress!

When Joanne, Mark & Joseph were here we did many trips around Brussels, including Ghent, Waterloo, The Netherlands (Delft, The Hague, and Amsterdam)  The cousins had some great bonding time.

 Here we are on St. Michael's Bridge...we thought about a boat ride but it looked cold in the open boats.  We liked watching this frat party boat dock and all the guys scramble to find a bathroom after many Belgian beers!  They were not quiet in their arrival!

World travellers in the main square in Ghent, right outside the church that holds the famous Altarpiece (we came home that night and Monuments Men was on tv-very appropriate)
We checked out this cute shop-I see people carrying its bags all the time- was a bit like Williams Sonoma-a kitchen store is always nice!
Louna warmed up to Joseph, the first day she wasn't sure about him, but they became good friends!

We checked out one of Greg's favorite pubs in downtown Brussels after a tour of the Grand Place!

 Here is a dress Katie would like to own- all made of fancy Belgian chocolate!
 You can choose your own flavor of chocolate mousse and your topping...Charlie the candyman could not even finish it!
 Getting ready to start the day...Joanne & Charlie coordinated their colors!
 Waterloo Battlefield, which is very close to our house...good climb to the top of the monument to the Dutch Prince who was wounded in the battle.  The lion was facing towards France as a warning, perhaps it should have been facing Germany instead?
Katie and Charlie decided to roll down the hill!

We then headed off on a road trip to Delft, the Hague and Amsterdam... stay tuned for the next post!
