Despite the less than stellar endorsement given by Collin Ferrel in his new movie, In Bruges, we decided to make a quick day trip to the historic city centre, which also happens to add an additional UNESCO World Heritage Site to our ever growing list. Tour books, in an attempt to be poetic, call it the Venice of the north and although Bruges is lovely, Venice it is not.
Every President's Day weekend we celebrate another year together--this is number five. We tried to find another tourist on the streets to take this picture for us, but had to resort to self portraits. Apparently Monday's in February aren't heavy tourist times in Bruges. The big question is, what happened to the makeup I applied that morning? Note to self: hit Sephora this week.
The obligatory photo of the clock tower.
Instead of climbing to the top for a reportedly spectacular view, we opted to stay in the local square and attempted to get a decent photo of a woman who is 7 months pregnant with her 27 month old. No small task, especially when we are still learning to use the camera. Herewith, the best attempts:

That place looks so fun...I hope one day Scott and I will make it to at least one of the fabulous places you have been able to go. Lucky!
You look great, by the way!
I agree---the Venice of the north is a bit of an insult! Instead they should say Venice was possibly as cool as Bruges one day before it was overcrowded and overodored. And Ralph Fiennes....yes please! :) I'm sooooooooo happy ya'll finally made it there!
The buildings look like a Christmas village. I love the pictures of you and Ruby. Are you going to give us a "belly shot" before that baby gets here?
