Does it Get Any Better Than This?

The grand news of today is that Erin and Ethan are here!...in Denmark!!!!  in our little apartment.....dead tired.
They arrived around 11 this morning.





We got them home and settled, and after a brief rest took them on a tour of copenhagen, starting with the Church of our Lady.  We continued on down the walking street where we had a real Danish hot dog from the hot dog street vendor.  We sat under cloudy skies by a large fountain sculpture happily munching away....and watching an endless array of passers by.  The hot dogs took care of their hunger, but they were both so tired.  They somehow managed to endure as we went from the walking street to nyhavn, a very iconic little harbor street that has stolen my heart.  The look of it is utterly enchanting.

I don't know what happened to my camera!  I guess I happened to it.





We stopped in a couple of souvenir shops, then we went to LaGlace....a very famous cake place.  We sat together and each had an impossibly delicious piece of cake of our choosing.  We walked back home where we regaled each other with treasures.  I showed them my little cache of vikings, and they showed me the spectacular treats they brought to us....brown sugar, vanilla, our magic pills (special vitamin pills that are most certainly a magic feather...like Dumbo's magic feather that helped him fly), beef soup base from Costco, make-up remover cloths from Costco....etc etc etc.

It was better than Christmas.

They are settling down for the night now....and SK and will try to settle down as well.

How can you do that when two of your favorite people in the world have come to share in the splendors of beautiful Copenhagen?
