We are feeling so proud that we actually got out and did something to celebrate our wedding anniversary (8!), instead of using the time to sleep or veg on the couch. Frank took off work last Friday, and we took Zach to daycare so we could have a few hours to ourselves. We hopped on the metro and visited the famed Brussels Atomium (yeah, we hadn't heard of it either), which turned out to be kinda cool. It was constructed for the World Fair in 1958 and was designed by Andre Waterkeyn to represent an iron crystal, magnified 165 billion times. You can go up inside of it.
It was something to do, and an excuse to play around with the camera, although the metro ride there and back took longer than anything else. We did stop off downtown for some lunch...at a Chi Chi's. We couldn't resist the call of Tex Mex and were okay with it because we weren't expecting much. Just a nice day out for the two of us.

Gnarly! That place looks all futuristic, but what they thought of as futuristic in the 1950's. So cheesy futuristic. Still cool :). Glad you guys got out!

Way fun! You sure are getting your tour of monuments this summer aren't you?
