The Sergeant had to spend a week in Belgium for work. Since he had his own hotel room we were going to go with him...but I was sick. :( Fortunately last Monday, just before he had to come home, the Little Mister and I were both feeling well enough to make the three hour drive to Antwerp. Hooray!
So...here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy them!
In the hotel room, just before we left to catch the bus;
the Little Mister wore green for St. Patrick's Day. :)

Walking down the street, a glimpse of the Cathedral of Our Lady towering above everything
ceiling detail
pretty pillars
standing outside the cathedral, looking up
lunch in a little Italian restaurant...the Little Mister charmed everyone by clapping and saying "hi!" to all.

fountain detail...I actually took this picture for Rose Daughter, I thought she might like it.
To me it looks like a cross between a horse and a dragon...or something. :)
Het Steen...literally "the Stone"Antwerp was at one time a fortified city, but Het Steen is all that remains.
Me and my little boy...isn't he cute??
We wore the Little Mister out!!But he had a great day.
We all did!

ReplyDeleteYour little boy is adorable. Your photos capture his cuteness factor so well.
And, yep, get out there and see as much of Europe as possible.
Fabulous pictures. I've never been to Antwerp...but I'm rethinking that now :)
ReplyDeleteThe Little Mister ALWAYS makes my ovaries ache. My husband would like you to stop posting pictures of him...but I say, BRING 'EM ON. He is precious.
Glad you felt better soon enough to enjoy a little getaway!
