Saturday in January: Brussels

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday afternoon in Brussels (despite the rain!). We took the metro from Hermann Debroux to Park. From Park we walked a relatively short distance to the Musical Instruments Museum (MSM) in Brussels. MSM is one of the girls favorite museums. We ate lunch at the fabulous restaurant on the top floor. What an incredible view of Brussels! MSM is in an Art Nouveau building in the heart of Brussels. After lunch we took the girls to the Belgian Royal Museum of Fine Arts. Elisabeth and Kate were interested in the sculptures and Chinese paintings, as well as the Flemish primitives. After the museum, we enjoyed a waffle with chocolate and caramel. Very messy, but fun. We walked back to Park and enjoyed playing on the playground. Unfortunately, the rain changed from a light drizzle to a heavier rain so we hopped on the metro at Park and headed home.
