Last weekend we went to London. We left Friday and came back on Monday. We had a great time and saw many famous sites. We saw Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Clock Tower, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, The Eye of London, Westminster Abbey, and Stonehenge. We also went to their famous Christmas market which had just opened on the day we got there. We both really liked London and wouldn't mind going back again!
Last week we went to see the Atomium in Brussels. This was built in 1958 for the world fair. The top sphere provides a panoramic view of Brussels and a restaurant. The other spheres contain various displays and even a little coffee shop. Too bad the weather wasn't nicer because I wanted to go to Little Europe which was right next door to the Atomium... maybe next time. :)
We didn't do much for Halloween because there wasn't much to do since the Belgians don't celebrate it. I didn't buy Emma a costume because I figured we wouldn't do anything, but my friend really wanted me to go to the halloween festival the Americans were putting on at a local school. Since I didn't have a costume for Emma another one of my friends let me borrow a Tigger costume her son wore last year. It was the perfect size and everyone at the festival loved the costume! I also carved a pumpkin and let Emma play with the inside, but all she wanted to do was put it in her mouth. ;)
