Cities with winding canals just beg for a boat ride, and we gave into that temptation in Ghent. Sure, it may be touristy, but experiencing Ghent with a view from the water brings a new personality to the city. We had some down time the...

Ghent is the capital city of the province of East Flanders, and is about a half hour train ride from both Bruges and Brussels. I know I've said it before, but I love the city of Ghent. We spent a few days hopping around Belgium,...

Ghent: a completely unexpected gem in the middle of Belgium. Originally, we were planning on only stopping in Bruges and Brussels, to get a quick taste of Belgium, but the more I read about Ghent, the more intrigued I became, and I knew we just...

Warm, cozy and homey are the three words that come to mind when thinking about Hotel Malleberg in Bruges, Belgium. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would go back again in a heartbeat. Hotel Malleberg is not a grand luxury hotel, but I think it's...

Keeping up with the Belgium theme, I just wanted to quick share a photo of this tiny little car, if you will, in Bruges, for this week's #FriFotos theme: Cars. I think this car is so cute, yet a little funny, all in one! Enjoy...

This theme for this week's #FriFotos is Urban.   Although Ghent isn't a huge city when compared to places such as London, Paris, or New York City, it is one of the largest cities in Belgium.  In the past, I have alluded to how much I...

Visiting Paris most definitely requires a stop at the Eiffel Tower, but my favorite way to take in the monument is to watch it sparkle from afar. Every evening on the hour, the Eiffel Tower puts on a 5 minute show with 20,000 sparkling, twinkling...

Bruges is a picturesque, post-card town full of quaint charm. Neither Micah nor I could put down our cameras because there was beauty every which way we turned. As we were walking around on a brisk November day, we decided that the town is exactly...

In honor of the #FriFotos theme Sweets, I decided to feature some of the delicious treats we loved in Paris. My all time favorite sweet I ate while in Paris was the decadent crêpe I ordered at the Chez Suzette Crêperie in the Latin quarter. Just...
