While the royals are away, the commoners will play!
The Royal Palace in Brussels is open for just over a month from the end of July until September 9th. This proved to be a terrific way to end our summer vacation. What a beautiful place!!! The pictures will speak for themselves. Thank you again Staci for the invite. We are so happy we went along!

| The entrance to the palace. |
 |
| I'm thankful I do not have to clean the chandeliers! |
 |
| Our assumption was this was Murano glass from Venice, Italy...with all of the Venice paintings surrounding it??? If only I had spent that euro on the palace guide. Darn! |
 |
| My favorite room! AMAZING! Of course, I like the way my iPhone picture turned out rather than this one. Check it out on Facebook. |
 |
| This ceiling and chandelier were created with 1.4 million shell casings of Thai jewel beetles. Yep, you read that correctly. It was beautiful, but it still gave me the creeps! |
 |
| Crafts in the "beetle room". |
 |
| All of the kiddos! |
 |
| I still walk around the city in awe and think to myself...I can't believe I live here. Until next time, Wendy |
