Beautiful day in Brussels!

Well, even though I didn't sleep last night, (up coughing all night) we headed out this morning at 6 to catch the train to Brussels. I was not about to let a cough and head cold stop us!

It took about an hour and 45 minutes to get there by train. (the euro star) We had a wonderful day! The weather was beautiful, although a bit hot compared to English weather these days. We really had no idea what to expect. We did have a travel guide, but of course, we didn't pull it out until we got on the train:0) I will post pics when I get home. I will say that my favorite parts were the National Cathedral, but in the 12th century and the Royal Palace. I was very surprised at how spread out the tourist things are. We walked a lot, but wouldn't have seen everything we did without getting a tour bus. I am gonna get off to bed now, but once I have pics, I will tell you more about our day.

I will say that I am thankful to my husband for his wonderful sense of direction and the fact that he can speak french. I was totally reliant on him today and I appreciate everything he did to make today go smooth!!! Thanks also to my in-laws who watched the kids today so that G and I could have a day out. I know it was exhausting, and we really appreciate it!! It is after 11, so I am off.

Melissa, let Anna know that Alex misses her as well! She has asked a few times if she could call, but with the time difference, it gets a bit difficult. Every time we are home to do it, you guys would still be in bed asleep:0)
