Seana's Visit

This is way overdue, but a few weeks ago, Seana came to visit. It is always so nice to have guests and even better when they stay with us. We did not make any set plans and decided what we would do the following day the night before.

I brought Seana to Brussels to see the Grand Place and Atomium. We took the bikes out in Antwerp to see the Steen castle and try some Jenever. We also explored the city a bit and ate several waffles along the way.

We weren't able to get a sitter over the weekend, so we made the decision to go overnight to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. It's a little bit of a long drive - 5 1/2 hours without traffic - but it is the perfect German town. It is the third time we have been there since we have been in Europe. The town is filled with Japanese tourists. They loved Chloe (I think because of her blonde hair) and many asked if they could have their picture taken with her. It was funny and weird at the same time, but I knew it was innocent in nature. Saturday was Seana's birthday, so we eat spatzle and drank champagne and pils to celebrate. Earlier that day, Craig had met a man from PA who had been living in Rothenburg for the past 20 years. He spotted us a dinner and proceded to hang out with us. He was a little creepy and we thought it was funny how he seemed to forget English and struggled to find the right word. We nicknamed him The German Small Wonder. We always seem to attract the weirdos. While driving through Frankfurt on the way back to Belgium, the winds picked up and we had many detours because of trees that had fallen across the road. We later found out that is was a crazy storm with heavy winds that blew across Europe.

Seana was lucky enough to be headed to Paris for a week after she left Antwerp. We are so glad that she came to visit.
