The girls in front of De Valk

Corn-grinding windmill which is now a museum.

Marlee "The Efficient Traveler" Grant

Marlee's new method for pulling her bag--attached to her backpack so she didn't need to use her hands.

We are staying at the new Hilton Garden Inn (opened last week) which is 2.3 km from the train station. A bit of a hike. The hotel is great, though.

Leiden train station

We are in Leiden, The Netherlands.

We found this cool chair in the train station. Old chair back and a round of wood.

Three stooges in front of the Bicycle Fountain in t' Zand Square, Brugge

Belfry tower Brugge

Yes...we had to stop...

The three Grant girls are in there somewhere!

What a cool bike

One way to pick your bike from the crowd.

Emma "Bike Crasher" Grant

Only one minor accident today--Emma misjudged the curb and crashed. Not even a scratch.

Insanity on two wheels

We rented bikes in Brugge today. What an adventure--dodging pedestrians, cars, and other bikes.

We stopped to enjoy Popsicles on a side street near the market.

We only last 3 of our rented 4 hours. The kids' seats weren't nearly as cushy as mine.

We went back in to the city and enjoyed the sights at a less crazy pace.

Seasoned travelers

We're heading to Brugge today.

Dinner while watching the Olympics

French fries and sausage.

Funny sign

Yummy!

Marlee with Cathedral of our Lady in the background

I am so happy!
