Road Trip!

Yep, we're hopping in the car bright and early Saturday morning to check out the fabulous city of Bruges, Belgium.

What really sparked our interest was the Snow & Ice Sculpture Festival the city boasts every year around this time. Apparently, it's quite a sight and, from what we've heard, should be well worth the 4-hour drive. From there, we're definitely going to check out the oh-so-cool (no pun intended, really) Ice Bar that should be right up our alley. We'll be back on Sunday with plenty of pictures and stories to share, but in the meantime, here's what we have to look forward to:
The makings of the Ice Bar

Mmmm, I can just taste the Gluhwein!

After knocking back a few drinks, we plan to check out the city of Bruges (which is supposed to be spectacular), as well as, their Christmas Market. Here's what one might expect to see at a traditional Christmas Market, at least in Germany:
We can't wait to see yet another part of Europe - this should be fascinating! Bis Sonntag!
