Luxembourg

Enough of the rain....we decided to take a quick weekend get away to Luxembourg.

We had a great time exploring the city and seeing the sun =)  

We took a took ride though the old city.  Abigail loved all of the castles and thinks this is where all of the princesses live.  She would go into every building, castles and church looking for the princesses, it's great to see her use her imagination and tell her stories.  She is growing up so fast.  She also learned how to use mom's camera and took several self photos.    

Here is quick history of Luxembourg (via guide book)

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is  a small country surrounded by Belgium, France and Germany.  The city's history dates back to the year 963, when Siegfried, Count of the Ardennes, had a castle named 'Lucilinburhus' build on a rock overlooking the Alzette River.  It was the famous French fortress builder Vauban who at the service of Louis, XIV, turned Luxembourg

 into one of his masterpieces, suitably known as the 'Gibraltar of the North'.
