Weekend in Copenhagen

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get this done. Last weekend Andreas's parents took the family to Copenhagen to celebrate Dad's 65th birthday. The lot included Andreas's parents, Olle and Margareta, Andreas's brother and sister-in-law, Johan and Emma, and ourselves. Samuel had a great time getting to know Johan and Emma better and of course getting spoiled by his grandparents.

It was a nice to get a relief from culture shock and nice to see Copenhagen again. Denmark is an interesting little world. We walked the main shopping street, had a rest in a nice cafe, had an incredible Italian dinner (the best I had every had) for Dad's birthday, went to a great museum (that we didn't get to spend a lot of time in because we had a three year old with us) and also went to the zoo. Samuel loved the hotel room. I know that sounds weird, but there were two beds in the room that you had to climb a latter to get to. Samuel wanted to "sleep up in the sky", but mom and dad didn't think it was safe enough, so he ended up on a mattress on the floor. The life of a child.

We had a great time. There are a few pictures below to show you some of the events.

This is a beautiful piece by Rodin that I saw in Paris also. It is appropriately called "The Kiss".


Samuel thought this was the zoo at first. I don't think he appreciated that inside were just more statues.
