The Grand Place
{Big}
Every two years The Grand Place is a blooming spectacle, they call it the
flower carpet. Even the little gents recognized it's beauty.
{BIGGER}
The whole thing is like a huge floral mosaic.
{BIGGEST}
Brussels town hall
is the icon of the Grand Place and I have long wanted to enter, but it's
actually not just a pretty edifice, it's a working office environment.
BUT, they let nosy tourists into to go to the balcony to view the carpet
from a higher vantage point. It was a-maz-ing. The building
is nearly 600 years old, or at least part of it is. There is a lot of
carved wood, HUGE fireplaces, and lots of red, which reminds me of
my favorite unsinkable Molly Brown.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SETH!!! Seth turned four on August 8. That was the first day we (-Eric) saw the house. We told him he was getting a new house for his birthday. He ate at Pizza Hunt. Dont judge, we were tired, we didn't know the area, we were hungry. He chose a spiderman cake which we ate back at the hotel. I got permission to light the candles in our room because E was paranoid the smoke alarm would go off. We are so grateful Seth is in our family!
Benjamin is our little comic, often times without knowing it. He loves to wear this helmet.
The kitchen...I haven't totally found my rythmn in here yet but I think we'll get there.
