Once again, Brad got 2 days off this past weekend so we loaded up and headed to Belgium. 3 hours later we arrived in Ghent. Booking.com has been great at finding cheap hotels. NH Gent Belfort is in the perfect location and very spacious. It was smack dab in the center across from town hall with not more than a 10 minute walk to any sights.

Ghent had been on our list to visit since last season and it did not disappoint. It has canals that run through the city and a castle in the middle of the city. Say what?! That is so rare. Everything was beautiful. Our only downside was that on Saturday night everything shut down at 6:30 except the Chinese restaurant. You can never go wrong with Chinese although we were hunting down coffee and waffles for an hour until deciding on room service. We ended our 2 day getaway in Leuven with sweet friends we have met through this crazy lifestyle.  I definitely think we will end up back that way soon!

 Here are the few pictures I got of the cute little city Leuven:

Y'all our must see list of Belgium is dwindling, anything we have to see before we leave in May?!

Have a great week! xx

Day Trip Edition: Nancy, France

Brad has had some surprising time off on weekends lately that has been glorious. Nancy, France was just another cute city we wanted to mark off our long growing list. It's just about an hour in a half drive from us. Being from Texas we all know that is cake. We spent the day dodging the rain, eating Beignets, and seeing the sights. The people we encountered were super sweet too! People have a notion of the French, but it is definitely not true with most cases we have come in contact with. Open minds, open hearts!

Here is our photo dump of the trip, Enjoy!

You know we had to end our trip with coffee and crepes. Mine has mango and raspberry ice cream inside with Nutella drizzle. YUM!

Next we head to Ghent, Belgium for a 2 day trip on Saturday. Keep your eyes peeled. :)
