Mother's Day Fun at the Tongeren Flea Market

For my first ever Mother's Day, Matt and Jackson took me to the Tongeren Flea Market. It is a world famous antique flea market in Tongeren Belgium. We set off to hunt for treasures and treasures we found! We had a beautiful day together walking around the quaint city and my only regret is that we didn't go sooner!

Someone was comfy in the Kelty carrier

Look at all those antiques! There were antique booths/tables all around the exterior of the city ruins as well as indoor halls and in a parking garage



Look who is a happy boy!


We had great weather

Local antique shops were open too

More antiques in the lower level of the parking garage
