Being an American is NOT an excuse…

…according to the rude lady at the Wokshop after I apologized for our table being a "little loud" and stating – jokingly – that I was an American and couldn't help it. And so began Kelly and Daron's first trip to Denmark. They both arrived on Thursday and after work we headed over to the Skelton's to visit Nikki, Grant, and baby Bo. We had a great time chatting over wine and hor'derves. And Grant and Nikki were nice enough to let Daron and Kel borrow their bikes.
On Friday Daron and Kelly went exploring the city while I went to work. They met me for lunch and I snuck out for an hour to take the canal tour with them. After work we headed to Nyhavn to enjoy the gorgeous afternoon. We started on the Boat Bar, where Kel discovered her new favourite drink – Apple Cider with Bitters. From there over to Nyhavn 17. Then a group of us headed to the Wokshop for dinner…we killed the time at a shady bar next door with Thomas and Mattias teaching us Danish drinking games.
After dinner we headed to Tivoli. On Friday's in the summer they have free concerts and that night is was Dodo and the Dodos, a Danish 80s rock band…super fun!
We ended the night at one of my favourite bars – Oak Room. It should be mentioned that I made an agenda for the entire trip…a la the famous Chapin-Lewis wedding agenda….we were WAY off the agenda timeline on Friday night and Kel and Daron would not let me forget it ;) On Saturday Kel and I dragged ourselves to kickboxing and then met Daron for brunch on the Lakes. Afterwards we headed up to Hillerød to Frederiksberg Slot. Kel loved her first castle!
Then it was off to the airport to catch our flight to Italy.
