Riding the Railbikes of Hautes Fagnes, Belgium

Riding the rail bikes in Belgium blended of our love of bikes and trains into one amazing afternoon adventure.

Searching for Street Art in Ghent

Ghent has a vibrant street art scene. As it turns out viewing street art is an incredibly family-friendly activity. You can be as loud as you want and viewing street art inherently involves a bit of seek-and-find and the subjects are usually quite amusing. We started our Ghent street art viewing on foot on Graffiti […]

Ghent, Belgium with Kids

Ghent should be on the top of your Belgium visit list! It was our favorite of the large Belgium towns and made us wonder why we didn’t get here sooner. We made an Autumn weekend visit, driving down on Friday and heading home on Sunday. We had ample time to enjoy the city, but were […]

Center Parcs Vossemeren in Belgium

This post contains affiliate links. Although we have been in Europe for almost two years now, we’ve yet to really experience a large Vakantiepark. Vakantieparks are a European must. The parks typically offer a variety of activities all in one spot. The Dutch are known to visit these Vakantieparks with their whole extended family or […]

Dinant, Belgium

Dinant, Belgium sits along the Muse River. It is a city lodged into the river valley giving it unbelievably pristine views. We stopped in Dinant to break up the drive between Luxembourg City and Delft, Netherlands. Instead of driving the RV into Dinant’s narrow streets we parked at the top of the Citadel. Be careful […]

Exploring Brussels with Kids

Brussels is an easy drive from our house, so it’s a wonder it has taken us so long for a proper visit. We opted to drive down, which is actually a less expensive option than taking the train. Since we were in the car we stopped at Cook & Book for lunch before checking into the […]

Cook & Book, Brussels

I have a thing for cool bookstores. When I found Cook & Book during a Belgium Pinterest hunt, I knew I had to add it to our itinerary for our next Brussels visit. Just outside of Brussels this adorable bookstore takes up most of a shopping plaza. There is ample street parking (metered). It was […]

Brussels Train Hostel: A Family Friendly Option

As you likely know by now my kids are train obsessed! When we heard there was a Train Hostel in Brussels we knew we had to check it out. Brussels is a two-hour drive for us, so a quick overnight was easy to arrange. We easily found street parking outside the hotel. At reception they were […]

Antwerp Blitz In a Day – No Kids

Antwerp with kids is fun (check out what we did here), but the city’s got a lot of interesting sights that would bore young children. When the opportunity to take grandma to Antwerp for the day came around, we thought no kids might be a good choice. In a previous Dutch Dutch Goose post, we […]

A Weekend in Brugge

Brugge is filled with canals, cobblestone streets and 17th century houses. If I didn’t know better I would have thought I was still in the Netherlands. Although Brugge is reachable by train, we decided to head by car and explore some of the surrounding areas as well. We stopped briefly in Bergen Op Zoom for […]
