Brugge

For Labor Day weekend we headed to Brugge, Belguim. We took the ferry from Dover to Calais, France then drove up to Brugge. We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend away!





Daddy and son checking out the white cliffs of Dover.

Keeping busy on the ferry.
Lots of yummy chocolate stores.
Chase hanging out in the square while waiting for dinner. Some friends were also in town that weekend so we met them for dinner.

There are lots of canals so we had to take a boat ride. Chase does not like sitting still and we didn't want to ruin the ride for everyone else so he pretty much got whatever he wanted for those 45 minutes.

We went to the Fry Museum. I guess during WWII some french speaking Belgians offered American some fries. They thought they were from France hence French Fries.
Getting to taste them after the museum tour.

Chase liked them too!
We definitely had a relaxing Sunday and went back twice to the room for naps. Chase let us know he was ready for nap. 2 more teeth came through this weekend so hopefully that's why he was a little fussy.
They had waffles with powdered sugar and chocolate - yum!
It's very hard to get a good family picture!
View of the city.

We also had to visit the Chocolate Museum! This is right before we left and Chase was pretty much done!


We had a wonderful time! The city was beautiful and the weather was perfect!

What special pictures! Loved the ones w/ the white cliffs of Dover - beautiful! And such a great array of pictures along the way. Could almost TASTE that chocolate - YUM! Loved the one of Chase in the french fry - reminded me of the Fair here, taking pictures of kids behind pictures boards. Looked like you had a wonderful relaxing weekend, and glad those teeth came thru! They can really be painful. You continue to be in our daily prayers! Mom & Dad
