Denmark Day 7
On Day 7 we were very busy too, since it was our (sniff!) last day in Denmark. Don’t last days make you think about every little detail more?
We got up, had coffee and breakfast, making sure to savor our bread and cheese. Then we all headed to Kronborg Slot, better known as Hamlet’s castle, where we had such fun touring the grounds.
From there we went to Louisiana, the museum of Modern Art. We ate lunch at their buffet, which was really delicious. Then we toured the exhibits until we were too tired to stay any longer.
Back at the house, we went down to the beach to put the last touches on our sand castle. I think it’s pretty awesome. Then after some iPad time, we took some Champagne down to the sea–ever since my dad passed away in 2009, I always take a pinch of his ashes with me on my travels. Dad met Kathryn and Ole in Phoenix, so they wanted to be part of the ceremony. We toasted to Ed Murphy in the windy, chilly Danish evening.
What an amazing trip. Kathryn, Ole, Emma, and Esben, thanks for making Denmark so special for us. It was hard to leave you and head to Sweden!
