A Day Fit For a King.....or Queen

I am not sure that it is even possible to fill a day more than we have filled ours today.

SK was eager to begin the day early so that we could cover as much ground as possible.  As soon as everyone was ready we set out in the car to see "The Little Mermaid" statue in the harbor and then on to see the statue "Kristina" by Dennis Smith, also near the sea in Copenhagen.  They were both spectacular.

Erin and Kristina

 Next on our list was the Rosenborg Castle and gardens.  We were in awe.

 

oohing and aahing over the king's crown.

A trip to Royal Copenhagen outlet, and Georg Jensen outlet was all kinds of fun.

Next we toured the grounds of the Frederiksberg Castle.  They were utterly spectacular.

In the meantime, we have a grand opening for the new center tomorrow evening and it was time to begin our preparations.

A trip to the center to unpack boxes and organize utensils, dishes and other kitchen stuff was very productive and with Erin and Ethan's help, it went smoothly.  There is so little space and I am worried how we will serve so many people tomorrow.  It will all go on one plate, which will be held standing up most likely.  We will have several speakers and then we will serve what is basically a finger food dinner.
Erin and Ethan did the shopping rounds with us...to the Turkish Marketplace and then to our regular grocery store. ....which was a good thing because there is no way I could have carried it all home!

We tried out a recipe for tomorrow evening at the new center....I am happy to say it worked.  Erin made a recipe of baked ziti so that I could see how it is made and taste it.  I am sure that it will be a winner at the center.

We made a batch of snickerdoodles for tomorow night....and we will make a double batch of chocolate chip cookies first thing tomorrow morning, as well as 200 meatballs and 60 sour cream cheese puffs.  We still have some shopping to do.

I think our backs are all hurting from the hours we spent in the kitchen this evening!

We are thinking we could have as many as 70....maybe fewer than 50....who knows.  However many are there.....it will be a marvelous evening.

I will take some pictures to show you tomorrow night!
