It was a fun time with our first visitors. Amy and Alyssa came for a week and we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. We spent two days in Amsterdam walking around the canals, visited the
Anne Frank House, had an amazing dinner at
Humphrey's and another delicious brunch at
Gartine. Then we headed to Hasselt, Belgium to pick up Kellie and spent a few days exploring the cutest city in the Netherlands (Maastricht of course!). The first night we went to a Tapas restaurant right on the Maas River and then checked out the local Irish Pub, John Mullens. The next day we grabbed coffee's to go at Coffee Lovers, walked around the city centers, did some shopping, had lunch in Markt Square, visited the cathedral and then out to an Italian dinner at II Giardino and a stop at the gelato shop. On Sunday morning we had brunch at Boulevard in Maastricht and then headed to Brussels, Belgium. We dropped off Kellie at the airport and then spent the day in Brussels city center. We toured the Grand-Place, visited the Mannekin-Pis statue and many of the well known chocolate shops. Today we took a trip to Aachen, Germany. It is a very cute quaint town where we wandered the cobble-stone streets, squares and toured one of the gorgeous cathedrals. We had a lot of fun this week and covered four cities in three different countries in one week! Thanks so much for visiting ladies and a special thanks to Amy for coming all this way while 6 months pregnant and leaving her daughter for the first time!
