The Krauts: Pat and Maria Visit

When Maria called and told me her and Pat had gotten tickets to come over here I could hardly believe it! It takes a chunk of money and time to get here......AND frankly that part of it is no fun. Hence, I had no grand expectations of hosting visitors. However, it was such a treat to have them visit! Maria.....thank you! I love you! It was hard saying goodbye. I miss my sisters.

Out to dinner.....

Warming right up to Uncle Pat.

Such an affectionate thing.

Showing off the parks and trails. Pat really took to the trails. He went running every day. I can see why.....they are the best!

My love bug.

Enjoying baby T!

Bruges

Its so fun to adventure somewhere new and especially with family. We hit up Bruges. Its a quaint town with lots and lots of food to eat. Pretty much thats why a person should stay two nights....for the chocolate, waffles and beer. Actually, I didn't think the chocolate were that great. All truffles and creams.....I like the dark stuff! More chocolate, less sugar.
