En Brugge

One of our stops over the holidays was in Brugge. I must lead into this one by sharing that our neighbors loaned us the movie, En Brugge, just before the holidays. It is quite a dark comedy and is definitely not appropriate for kids. It does show the area off and it is a lovely little town. It poured freezing rain except for about 30 minutes of our whole stay. If you watch the movie, you will get the joke about what they say about Brugge. The picture is of the Christmas markets and also has the tower that is part of the movie.

Brugge is one of the most postcard moment places this side of Disney. The canals are quite awesome. We'll facebook the pictures as they are so many to blog. It is one of those places that that is much less about history and is much more about hanging out. We stayed in a really cool little hotel. The owners ran the place and the kids favorite part of the trip was hanging out in front of the fireplace in the dining room. We stopped in after a long cold day and played cards(Rook) at a table in front of the fire. We had the only family room in the hotel which meant one double bed and three singles in our room. It was quite the romantic experience for Mom and Dad. We did have a cool view out of our window (picture of Maggie sitting in the window) and the tower looked really cool all lit up at night.
