Let me back up a few days from my last post. During my mom and Nicole's visit, we had the pleasure of spending the day with our friend Megan from Morton! She was on a family trip to the UK and made her way down to Brussels for the day. We loved showing her around our neck of the woods.
 |
| First stop...WAFFLES! Notice, Megan is soaked. She is getting a real "taste" for life in Belgium. Plan on being soaking wet most of the time. |
 |
| A stop at Manneken Pis! |
 |
| Strolling along one of my favorite streets. |
 |
| A stop at Cinquantenaire Park! |
 |
| Late in the morning, we picked up Nicole and Allison. |
 |
| Just a short walk down from Cinquantenaire Park is my favorite frites stand Maison Antoine. They are the BEST and have been serving fries since 1948. |
 |
| We might have eaten every last bite..... |
 |
| Cheers! |
 |
| In August, the royal palace is open to the public, so we stopped in. Since it was Allison's third year through, she kept up the pace. It's just another palace (thinks the expat kid who has been fortunate to see so many!) |
 |
| A little bit of sunshine was showing through as we took in the views of Brussels from Mont des Arts. |
 |
| Next up was the Atomium! We never made it there on Nicole's first trip, so she was pretty excited to see it too! |
 |
| Clearly, they are super excited! |
 |
| The last stop on our busy day was the Grand Place. It went by so quickly, but we were so happy to have Megan with us. |
Thank you for the visit, Megan. We hope you enjoyed Brussels as much as we enjoyed sharing it with you! You have officially been added to the visitor photo wall in our house. :)
Until next time,
Wendy
