Bob travels across the Pond!

When we got back from Prague, Mom entertained herself while I worked. She went to the Fredericsborg Castle, Louisiana Museum, and even got pretty good at biking around Copenhagen. Then we were joined by Bob who bravely made his first trip overseas alone. He did very well, except never quite got over his jet lag.

Last year Absolut Ice Bar opened in Copenhagen. There are a few of these bars around the world and I'd been wanting to try it out - my parents were game, so off we were. First you get decked out in insulated parkas, gloves, and boots. Then they lead you into the bar which is entirely made of ice from somewhere in Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle. And when I say everything I mean everything....bar, glasses, chairs, tables, walls, etc.

Nikki's mom was also in town (all the way from Sydney), so we all headed to Klubben one night for A LOT of authentic Danish food and many laughs. Grant subjected Bob to the Danish tradition of Gammel Dansk, which literally means old Danish and is bitters/schnaps which is quite pungent.
There is a Scandinavian shop in the town my parent's live in and the owner instructed them to have a hot dog from one of the many stands around town...so we headed to one in Kongens Nytorv, the King's Square.








Nyhavn and a Canal Tour










The Beach


Tivoli

After making our way around Copenhagen, we rented a car and headed south for a few days to Møns Klint...the white cliffs of Denmark. The small towns we passed through along the was were cute and quaint, the cliffs were breathtaking, and the forests were gorgeous.

There is a tradition in Denmark where if you turn 30 and are not married, they put a huge peppermill outside of your house. We passed by one such celebration on my 29th birthday, so I hopped out and we took a picture.
Had a great time with you Mom and Dad...you're welcome back anytime!!!
