Dinant, Belgium

I saw a picture of Dinant, Belgium a few weeks ago, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I couldn't let it go.

So I looked at a map and realized it was only 1.5 hours from Luxembourg. THEN I found a blog called Belgium With Kids, telling me exactly what I should and shouldn't do with my kids while visiting Dinant. AND THEN we went. 

15 Months

Earlier this month, Ben took the trash out. On his way back up the stairs and into the house, he paused on the front step and looked out into the black night and said: It smells like winter is in the air. You should come smell it. 

Paris

Paris is a city I want to live in for a year. A full year.

I want to explore every neighborhood and nook and cranny. I want to have the time to really sit in a park for an afternoon and watch the wooden sailboats without feeling rushed by an itinerary. I want to smile knowingly at the tourists buying cheap paintings because I was once one of them. I want to expertly navigate the metro like I once did New York City and Washington DC.

Camping in Mullerthal

Beaufort Castle

As soon as the boys were out of school last Friday, we loaded them and our camping gear into the car and drove over to Nate and Becky Packer's, where five men and nine children were meeting for an informal "Father & Son's" campout in Luxembourg's Mullerthal region, known as Little Switzerland.
