We love Brussels!

Yesterday we went up to Brussels because Elden had the day off work.  We've been there twice before, but never really did much sight seeing-just eating.  We did a little of both on this trip.
First was our standard stop at Maison Dandoy for waffles.  Riley had his first Belgian Waffle! He wanted Elden's though since it had strawberries and ice cream. Seriously-if you're ever in Belgium, it's worth a trip for their liege waffles!!!

Then we went over to Parc du Cinquantenaire.  It's a beautiful big park as well as several museums.  We stayed outside for this visit since it was such a beautiful day, but next time, we'll go to some of the museums.

We also visited the Atomium.  It's a structure that was built for the Brussels World Fair in 1958.  It was renovated a few years ago.  We took a lift to the very top sphere which has a panoramic view of Brussels, and then we went into a couple of the other spheres (on a crazy steep and long escalator ride!)
