Belgium, the mystical land of beer, chocolate, and waffles

Matt and I decided to take a break from traveling for a bit, so I could get used to being pregnant. We found out that our bean is actually a boy, so baby boy Kowalski will  be joining us this summer. Unfortunately, it seems that he is not as much of a fan of traveling as we are. Sadly, I get tired quicker and we have had to limit our travels to local areas that we can get to by car and can take frequent stops if needed. For Matt's 30th birthday, he wanted to go to Brugge Belgium. I have been to Brussels, but not to Brugge so it sounded great to me. Brugge was MUCH smaller than we expected, but that was probably good in hindsight, since I was able to see most of what the city had to offer. Matt booked us a room in a B&B that is actually a castle that has been in the same family for hundreds of years. We enjoyed our time in Brugge and we won't travel again until my birthday when we head off to Bavaria for a long weekend in Munich and a day trip to Salzburg Austria :)
