Brussels, Belgium

For Christmas break we took a road trip to Belgium for a few days. It is only about 3 hours from our house into the city of Brussels. Jason has been there a few times, but it was a first for the rest of us.
Unfortunately it rained the majority of the days we were there, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the city.

 The Mannequin Pis statue was dressed up for the "Mannequin Pis 12 km Run" through the city that took place that night. 
 Grace and YaYa enjoying an amazing Belgian waffle.
 With the Christmas Market going on there we were able enjoy that as well. The kids rode on hands down the most amazing carousel I have ever seen.
 Here they pedaled this flying guy which made him go up and down.
 This guy freaked me out. A kid holds on to the handle on the top of his head and it makes it move all around. Very life like!
 Around the ice skating rink.
(This part of the market was around the corner from out hotel.)
 Jason enjoying (and YaYa admiring) a yummy belgian beer called Chimay.
 After dinner we stopped by one of the hundreds of chocolatier shops for some dessert. There is nothing like chocolate from Belgium!
