Train!

Entering into the medieval city!

Beautiful church

Burg square-Belfry tower
We got to climb up the 366 steps to the top and enjoy and wonderful view of the city. The 46 bell carillon can be seen at the top of the famous tower.

Dijver canal (We took a boat ride down this canal it was beautiful)

Music man!

Sint-Janshuis Mill is one of two or three windmills that still remain in Bruges Belgium.

Kruispoort Gate is one of four remaining city gates to the town of Bruges Belgium. Constructed in 1402, the gates are a short walk from the two remaining windmills.

Next stop Versailles, Paris!

Europe Trip - Amsterdam, Holland

Taking a little cat nap on the train

I have always dreamed of going to Holland to see the gorgeous fields of tulips so when I heard that there was a place called Keukenhof Gardens I knew that I couldn't miss it since I probably wouldn't be able to see it again. We missed the train some how, but we were able to catch the next one so it was alright. When we arrived we were able to book a hotel which was in a really nice neighborhood that was close to the Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit the museums. Before we headed off to the Keukenhof we walked around the city to get some lunch. After lunch we took a couple of buses to get to the gardens. Here are some pictures

Life size chess game

After lunch we headed off to see Keukenof which is basically Disneyland, but just filled with tons of beautiful flowers. This is mostly a picture post so enjoy!

I love this picture!

Awesome windmill

Beautiful fields of tulips!!

So peaceful and beautiful

We literally spent hours here and I absolutely loved it. I could of stayed all day. As Gary said I had the biggest smile on my face. :) I have such a wonderful husband. It was totally worth it!
