Wrapping up in Waterloo

Our last day in Belgium was spent exploring nearby Waterloo.  Part of the 1815 monument that commemorates the Battle of Waterloo is a large mound of earth topped by a lion statue.   In French it's Butte de Lion or if you're a tourist from Indiana...Lion's Butt.  You can see the Lion's butt from Tina and Glenn's backyard.  So we capped off our week of sightseeing with a trip to the memorial and nearby Waterloo. 

As it would happen there was a geocache along a hedge on the border of the monument grounds.  So naturally, Olivia and I had to go find the "treasure".  After a mild amount of bushwhacking...success!

After a quick lunch at a Belgian McDonald's (another fun experience) we headed into Waterloo.  We took in some shopping and walked through the cathedral in the city.

After an adventure packed week, it was time to pack up the bags and head back across the ocean. We said our goodbyes and headed into the airport.

We had a small delay as we were in the wrong line for a few minutes, but we quickly found the correct check-in and were on our way through security.

Time to get comfy for this 8 hour journey!

Hello Lake Michigan....almost there!

Thanks for everything Belgium!
