This past Sunday we took a quick day trip to Dinant, Belgium. It is just an hour and 20 minutes from Luxembourg. There is a Citadel that gives you a gorgeous view of the city, a gorgeous church, river cruises, a saxophone bridge, and wonderful restaurants all along the river making for a beautiful lunch view. If anyone is close enough to visit, DO IT!

Ghent, Belgium;Waffles, Chocolate, and Sights

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

Back to Brussels, Belgium

The last city/country we stopped at with my brother was Brussels, Belgium. Brad and I had been prior, but it was a miserable trip to say the least freezing our butts off in the sleet. We rushed through sights and didn't get to see everything. It was fun to get to go back through all the sights with my brother. We also saw two things we didn't get a chance to see before. Mont Des Arts and the Autoworld Museum was awesome. I was so excited to take my brother to Autoworld and snap pictures for our dad. My brothers and dad used to race. So, it was right up our alley since they are all about cars. It was nice to walk around in 60 degree, sunny weather and take our time. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.
