choco-lots!

Lovely Brugge Belgium. I LOVED it there. I loved the feel, the sounds, the smells and the tastes! My children very literally walked around with chocolate on their faces the entire time we were there. It is only a short hour, so we can go back anytime...and will. There is a Salvador Dali exhibition that David is dying to see...next time we will catch that!

I know - don't worry, my hair has since been dyed...don't be too scared. We stopped in this little town called Sluis because we were hungry and they had belgium waffles covered in belgium chocolate. I could check two things off of my to-do list...we later discovered that we were still in the Netherlands...albeit a location that often fights over it's allegiance to the netherlands and belgium...it was very confusing for us, but I think moreso for them.



When we first got into Brugges, after our fakeout Belgium experience, it was raining, but I immediately fell in love with this quaint town. The architecture was unbelievable.





The chocolates were unbelievable!
The beautiful christmas store was unbelievable. I picked up a tree topper, some ornaments and a nativity set.

The Chocolate Story museum was so-so. Not too impressive, but definitely educational...and of course, the ending was sweet!
I mean, where else do you get to see a chocolate kid peeing chocolate pee.
I don't know anywhere else you can take a photo with a chocolate Obama.

This is Parker's begging and pleading stance.
It worked, we took the carriage ride.
We ended our night by eating at a restaurant that Audrey Hepburn loved...the Flemish stew wasn't as good as we had hoped, but it didn't matter in the end...because we had chocolates for dessert!
