We spent an enjoyable day at the "beach" yesterday right in the heart of Brussels. Well, sort of. Brussels Beach, or Bruxelles Les Bains is a summer festival held for a few weeks each summer set alongside the Brussels channel. It is set up as a simulated beach with lots of food, cocktail stands, and snack shacks set along the walkway. There's also a stage which hosts several concerts or entertainment during the event.
Tasha and I were able to enjoy a refreshing drink while watching the girls play to their hearts content in the sand and water play areas. This was a great new "Belgian" thing to do while enjoying the beautiful warm weather now upon us here in Belgium.
After we got our fill of the beach, we drove a short distance away to the Royal Park, which is located directly across from the Royal Palace. They have a nice play area for the children and the park itself is lovely with lots of green grassy areas, trees, fountains, and interesting statues. The girls were even treated to see part of a marionette show which just so happened to be playing right there at the park.
And it's always nice to see the Royal Palace -- it's such a beautiful building...
