I'd rather be playing video poker.

We were very happy to see Mom Mom and Aunt Chris as they came out of the airport security on Friday. Since we were in Brussels we swung by to see the Grand Place and Manneken Pis. Once we got back to the apartment, we went to pick up Colin at school and pick up some goodies to snack on at the store.

Saturday, we headed out to Brugge for the day. It was amazing that the weather held out for us and actually was sunny by the end of the day. We are in the middle of a heat spell, it has been getting to around 80 degrees everyday. It sounds great, but it is rare to have air conditioning here and by the end of the day, our apartment is pretty hot.

Saturday was also our 6th wedding anniversary, so we got a sitter and all went out to an awesome seafood dinner. We used the same sitter we did before. She told us that Colin definitely understands Dutch but he would only answer her questions in English. She was also telling us about all of the things going on this weekend in Antwerp - end of the college exams, Beer Fest Week and Gay Pride Weekend, start of sales - which explains why it is so crowded. By Belgian law, the stores are only allowed to have sales twice a year in July and December.

Sunday we went out to Kinderdijk, in the Netherlands. Kinderdijk has the largest concentration of windmills in one area. We rented bikes and rode down the road to see them. Mom Mom had not been on a bike for a long time and was a little wobbly during the ride. She told us that she would much "rather being playing video poker" and probably be a little safer too since she took a spill not too long after she said that. She was OK and was brave enough to finish the ride.



We were back in Antwerp by early afternoon and did some shopping. We did not not do much Sunday night since we were leaving on a girls only trip to Paris early the next morning.
