Patrick & Libby started talking about a European double date the the very night Alex & I told them that we were moving to Luxembourg. Two of our closest friends, both in our wedding and vice versa, Patrick & Libby, we knew, were going to make it happen! And this year in April, Euro double date 2012 began! Team Burke and Team Martin were united once again :)
Alex and I got to show our special friends Luxembourg, Trier (Germany) and Bruges (Belgium) before they continued on to Italy. Many thanks to Patrick & Libby for the fantastic photos they took along the way!
We visited some of the Luxembourgish vineyards...

We took a little weekend trip to the Champagne region in France to visit Moet & Chandon, as well as some smaller vineyards...

Moet vines - too early for grapes!
Our trip ended in the special town of Bruges, Belgium! Bruges is always a treat - and to think, I'd never even heard of it before last year!

And I love this photo of the Burkes on a scenic little bridge in Bruges

The only problem with the visit is that it was too short! But, without a doubt, I'd say Euro double date 2012 was a huge success! Thanks for coming, y'all! Euro DD 2013? :)
Love from Luxembourg,
Melanie
