Our first trip outside the Netherlands was a day trip to Brussels, Belgium. While there we visited a few different places: The La Grande-Place, Town Hall, a Chocolatier, the Atomiom, Mini-Europe and Cantillion Brewery- a little bit for everyone.
La Grand-Place: Around a cobbled rectangular market square, La Grand-Place in Brussels, the earliest written reference to which dates back to the 12th century, features buildings emblematic of municipal and ducal powers, and the old houses of corporations. An architectural jewel, it stands as an exceptional and highly successful example of an eclectic blending of architectural and artistic styles of Western culture, which illustrates the vitality of this important political and commercial centre

Atomiom- Built for the 1958 World Fair, the Atomium represents a molecule's nine atoms – magnified 165 billion times. Something of a symbol of the city, it provides a panoramic view of Brussels and its surroundings. We also visited the Mini Europe, located right near the Atomiom.

Our final stop was picking up some beer at the Cantillion Brewery. Cantillion brews some of Scott's favorite beer- beer that is next to impossible to find and drink in the U.S.
