For our 1st year anniversary we decided to stay a night in Brugge, Belguim. It was our first place to visit outside of The Netherlands too. A friend of ours recommended this as it is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. We left our apartment at quarter to 2pm and we got there at 5.30pm. It still surprised us to see how much different it is to travel now that we have a baby. Before we only have 1 small luggage and a bag for my husband and I for a short trip like this. Now that we have Orion 3 bags are just the minimum. It took as quite a while because we have to make a stop to settle down the fussy britches.
It was raining when we got there and Pete had to look for a parking since the hotel parking was full.
We stayed in a place called Oud Huis de Peellaert (Old house of the Peellarrt) a 19th century aristocrat house that turned into a hotel.
We took a stroll around the town for awhile and headed to get some dinner. The city was lighted like a room full of candles and even though it was a mostly dark rainy and cold it was a lovely evening.

That is the Belfry Tower. I climbed it all the way to the top. It was quite a climb but the view was beautiful.
