I am back from our trip to Europe. The kids survived our 15 day trip without us and Grandma and Grandpa did too! LOL We had an amazing time. Parts of our trip were very eye opening. We spent 5 days in Romania which was our favorite part of the trip. It's still mind blowing that they only came out of communism in the 1990's. I will share a few of our photos from each place we visited.
Starting out with our first stop Brussels
The Grand Place: Right off the plane we ended up doing a 2 or 3 hr walking tour. We were exhausted!
The Galleria: (to the right side of the photo there is an old theatre which has a few rooms they rent out as a B & B and that is where we stayed
Ommegang: The event is focused around a reenactment of the arrival procession of Emperor Charles V in Brussels in 1549
Next up was Budapest, Hungary
The Market in Budapest
The National Museum of Hungary
