Balloon Day Parade

Last Saturday, Brussels held its first ever "Big Balloon Day Parade". No reason to have a parade, other than it's the end of february and everyone needs a little upper to get through the end of the winter.

Our timing was perfect. We caught the beginning of the parade just as we walked out of the metro stop. And what would be a more appropriate balloon to start the parade than Brussels' own Manneken Pis? I can't believe this balloon hasn't featured in the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade yet!










After the parade, Luke took a well-deserved nap while mom and dad had a well deserved waffle and beer at the Grand Place.
