Memory Lane

Late last night we returned from a long weekend in Luxembourg with my Sister and her family.  My sis and I have so many memories from Lux, it was awesome to stroll through the Green Heart of Europe all together for a few days.  We rallied by car Friday morning, O was such a trooper...as soon as he landed from a week in PDX we hit the road.  Friday must of been a long day for him - he was on 2 continents and in 4 countries, awake for more straight hours than any human should be...all with a smile, what a guy.  The kids were troopers too...both are so used to bike life, that after about 15 minutes in a car they are sick.  Even the prettiest road trip is not pretty with my kids...not pretty at all...the poor things turn green and lose their lunch.  As usual, the rally was worth it...we had a blast!

Only the best for this crew...we packed ourselves into a few rooms at Le Royal, which was a hotel packed full of memories for my sis and I.  We lived there for several months in the 80s while moving in and out of Luxembourg.  

We made the most of our time in Lux, hitting the town night and day.  Below is a view of the Grund at night.  

 Cobblestone cousins

 We were excited to find the Christmas Market was set up...we ate our way through it each day...

 The palace looked just as we remembered it...

 Wes and P were surprised to find out Santa spoke french...

 On our way out of town Sunday we popped by our old digs.  W had been there before, but swore he didn't remember...

 We also terrorized hit up the patisserie in our village...
