Brussels and Brugge

NOTE:  I'm posting fewer pics in the posts because I am running lower on memory, so please take a look at the slide shows.

On May 7th and 8th we all went to Brussels because Chad had some work there.  Will and I walked around the area near the hotel and Chad joined us in the evening for dinner.  We were able to go to restaurant and sit at the same table Bill Clinton sat at about 10 years ago.  Pretty exciting for Chad! He went back the next day to take a picture (you can see it in the Picasa slideshow).

We then drove an hour from Brussels to the smaller town of Brugge. We have been told by several people that we should go visit this city and it was worth the day trip.  The old city center area looks like you are walking back into the medieval era.  The canals and cobblestone streets were beautiful.  It is also a VERY touristy city.  There was a lot of English, tour groups, cameras, and maps around.

We spent the afternoon walking around the city and Will now just wants to walk all by himself.  Our pusher is getting less use now a days.  Will would rather push it than ride in it.

Carriage Ride

With our wiggly baby we decided it would be best to see the city in a carriage ride and tour rather than try to do a boat tour along the canals.  Will thought the horse clicking was great! He swayed back and forth as the horse walked and waved at the people in the street.

Chad and Will as the horse takes a break.

Will would touch the horse and giggle.

When we returned to our flat Will was so excited to stretch out walk around.  He also played hard in the bath tub as he acquired two more Hilton Ducks to add to his collection.
