Jason had to leave for business yet again, this time Breda, Netherlands. I took advantage of free babysitters and free hotel and joined him Tuesday night. He knew in advance I might be along, so he reserved a room in one of the nicer hotels.
After I arrived, we had a cheap dinner followed by an expensive dessert. If you end the meal with a nice expensive dessert-you can trick your brain into thinking the whole meal was expensive! HA HA. It was nice to be on our own-with all his travel I hardly see him anymore. I am practically a single mom most weeks-to the point where Jason is in the way when he is here.
While Jason had meetings all day Wednesday, I wandered the pedestrian only shopping area. It was nice just to pop into shops without small distractions. While looking into the shops, I noticed that the clothing prices were quite a bit cheaper than the UK. So I had to buy a few things.
I sat down for lunch outside at a cafe and read my book for a while followed by some people watching. I bought some stroopwaffels and fresh roasted nuts for the kids. Stroopwaffles are 2 thin waffles with caramel smooshed in between. They taste great with coffee or tea.
I spent my last 1.5 hours sitting on a bench outside a church watching people. Its nice to know I don't stand out-I had at least 5 people approach me speaking a Dutch. I don't know one ounce of Dutch.
The kids were waiting up for us when we got home. We put them to bed an mentally packed for Paris.
