Copenhagen

Arriving in Denmark gave us some serious sticker shock. Especially after a summer filled with plenty of good deals and cheap eats. But on the 100 dollar train ride from Aarhus to Copenhagen we witnessed the most amazing sunrise I've ever come across and it was totally free. The sunrise felt especially gratifying after the long day we had just endured to get to Denmark. We had started the day in the Czech Republic, leaving there about 10am. We took a van to Linz, Austria for a 4pm flight. We stopped over in London for an 8pm flight, arriving in Aarhus around 11:30. Took the shuttle from the airport to the train station and then waited for the 1:30am train to Copenhagen.
We deserved a good sunrise.
I thought it appropriate that we began our trip in Ireland where Mark's dad hails from and would be ending our trip in Denmark, where his mom is from. And we were lucky enough to have relatives to meet us both times. Jack, Angela and Will had been in Copenhagen already for about 6 weeks, so while not exactly locals they did know how to get us around and take care of us.

Isn't that the best to be able to show up and have people there to take you to all the right places? And we had our own personal entertainer in Will. That's one of the many things I love about kids. Everything is funnier when they are around. Everything tastes better too.

Milk freshly squeezed by Uncle Mark:
Raisins. Remember when raisins were a special treat instead of part of a healthy breakfast cereal?
And my personal favorite, ice cream!
I learned that very early on in my television career you can't go wrong with a cute kid... people love pictures of babies and puppies.
