We visited Bastogne today and it was very interesting and although one might think that it was not the best trip for a baby, perhaps, our baby seemed to enjoy himself very much. He slept well on the way to and from Bastogne so driving was very easy. The last time I was in Bastogne I was with my family in 1979. All those years ago we went to the museum but got there just when it was closing so my Dad ran around it while we waited in the car. Almost 25 years later, I am very happy to have had the opportunity to go with my Dad to this museum and see it properly together. We got there 3 hours before closing this time and took our time walking around. There was a new 30 minute movie with excellent footage of the war and Baby cooperated by nursing through it and watching some of it quietly. He is so good and behaves like a big boy not a little baby. After we enjoyed the Christmas market in town and tried some excellent mushrooms, Ardenne sausage and sauerkraut. Despite our enjoyment of the day, we did not forget the soldiers. It was Christmas time during the Battle of the Bulge.
