Easter Break - Brugge and Kinderdijk

First stop: Brugge, Belgium. We can't decide what we enjoyed most:


The food...
...the architecture...

...the statues (especially climbing on statues, which became Andrew's favorite sport over the course of this trip. Don't worry, we didn't let him climb on Michelangelo's Madonna and Child)...

...or the company.

Next up, Kinderdijk, Netherlands, which has a great collection of windmills.



This was the view from our hotel room. A true photographer would have woken up at 6AM to capture the sunrise. This shot was taken at around 8AM.

We figured this would be a good setting to take some good family pictures. Unfortunately, the weather (windy and cold) and the kids (not willing to hold still, smile, or look at the camera) did not cooperate.

Anthony lingered to take pictures, while everyone else ran back to the car to get warm. This ended up being the best family picture we got: four people looking at the camera if you include Anthony's reflection.

Wow, you guys have the most amazing trips! To get to see the windmills and the tulips in bloom, I'd be in heaven! I love the family photo in the van too. : )
I'll be doing a blog post about your blog soon, for other people, like me, who want to tour Europe vicariously through you. Beautiful images as always, you guys are pros now!
