Today is one of these holiday days that just don't seem to finish. I am not writing about that. We all have enough of that.
What I am writing about: I'm planning our holidays! Too exciting. So far, I have a week in Basel, Switzerland. We can stay there for free, so we just need to drive there. We also have internet, so lucky you! I will be able to blog about it! (Say yay!)
Then the week after that, we have a bit of a box of delights with something for everybody. Babes and Jack are going to the UK to renew a passport, but while they're there, they are celebrating a birthday, seeing the grandparents and cousin, the aunts. Well, it will be lovely for them both.
Marie is staying with me for a bit, and also going to stay with her grandmother here in Belgium for two nights. She is going to be spoilt rotten and have a great time.
Me? I'm going off to be with May for three days before she returns to the US. I'm sad just thinking about it. I'm sure we will have a lovely time. We are going to Hasselt, a Belgian town I've never been to. Our country is about as big as a postage stamp, yet I've probably seen more French towns than Belgian ones.
Apparently, though, this is the friendliest and cosiest town you could go to. There are a million shops, which will happen to have their FINAL SALE DAYS just then. Yes, you read that right. I think we may well spend most of our time sitting around, sipping a drink and laughing. Professing our undying love for each other. Better not cry too much.
Then our holiday is actually not finished yet, would you believe it. We are considering going camping for a bit. We've never camped with kids, especially not with a twenty month old, so any helpful hints would be gratefully received. (Including NO DON'T!)
We are considering a kiddie theme park. (Jack's special request.) There also needs to be a lot of cycling. We have been invited to a wedding and a big birthday do. We have plenty of options in any case.

Oh, and tonight I'm off with May to see the new Brüno movie. I hope it's as hilarious as I expect.

Busy life. Sounds pretty lovely to me. Except for the camping part. Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteSo many things to look forward to, including sales :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous holiday. We haven't brought ours camping yet either - but hope to in the next few years. One of my blogging friends does - Kari, of I left my heart at preschool...she recently wrote a post about it!
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight!
I'm even willing to brave a Dutch cinema to see Bruno. Can't wait. Borat was the closest I'd ever come to puking from laughter.
ReplyDeleteSwitzerland is so beautiful, I've only been there a few days.
....and we've just planned out our holiday for later in the Summer... yeee haw.
That was like a mini-post!
@Ms. Moon - You think no camping? You're probably right.
ReplyDelete@SandyCalico - Indeed!
@Christy - I'll go look up that post, thanks.
@Xbox - You should. Really. Just sit far away from the Dutch people.
Yay for your holiday!
Feel free to mini-post on here anytime! ;-)
Sounds very busy!
ReplyDelete@Kate - Yes. Sigh. I'm tired already.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like an awesome trip! I especially love trips where you stay for free, we will be doing that in a few weeks when we head down to Florida to visit some friends, it helps when they live of the beach!
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like a wonderful vacation you have planned. Enjoy Belgium, and eat lots of moules marinieres and chocolates.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved Hasselt! Such pretty shops and yes, it is true, very friendly people. And you can take the bus from the trainstation into town for FREE! I love that. xxx
ReplyDelete@mountainmomma - The beach, oh, yes, I remember it well.
ReplyDelete@Lady Mama - I like my moules nature. The mariniere is a little too heavy on the thighs. :-)
@An - You shall have to tell me all the best places to go. xxx
