Denmark Pt. I

Well, Andreas hadn't had a day off in a month and so he decided it was about time! So we took Samuel and Farmor to Denmark on the boat. We took our car (which is a new car by the way) and loaded up so that we could dock at Fredrickshavn and drive to Skagen. Skagen is the very tip on Denmark (actually a glorified sandbar) this is were the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea meet (Andreas says it is not really the Atlantic, but I am too tired to look it up). It is really cool because the ocean comes from two different ways and crashes into each other. Never knew that happened. It was pretty cool to walk out on the sandbar until the waves came at me from both sides. It almost makes you lose your footing. Anyway, we had a great day. It was warm and sunny and perfect. Sam loved the big boat and all the entertainment. I love that a trip like this is a day trip for us. One of these days Andreas and I will take our bikes on the boat and bike the whole way just for fun. (that sounds so European, don't worry I am still an American girl). Enjoy the pics below.

On the boat getting ready to leave.
Farmor's friend, Alva, lives on the bay and so she waved to us as we passed.

In the children's lounge, Samuel was able to meet Curious George, or Nicke Nyfiken in Swedish.

Needless to say, they had a great time.

Sam was so excited he was dancing with his pez dispenser.
