My mom came to Europe for the first time in March. I was so proud of her because she came on her own. Trying to find one's gate in Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) can take a while cause it's such a big place. But she made it to her connecting flight without much trouble (just a lot of running). The funny thing was that the plane that she boarded ended up having a gas leak on it's arrival at Kastrup Airport here in Denmark. The plane sat on the tarmak until they decided that it was safe enough to pull up to the gate. So, they had a scare but walked through the exit into Denmark safe and sound. :)
Dave and I were SOOO excited to have Mom in Denmark. We took her everywhere that we could in the few weeks that we had. We walked throughout the city. Our tours included the three mermaids, Christiania, Strøget, Frederiksberg Have, Søndermarken, Vestre Kirkegården, Helsingør, etc. But the highlights for me were taking her down to Morfars house and going to the church service in Helligånds Kirke. Both experiences were so relaxing and hyggelige. The MOST exciting thing, however, was that I got to have coffee or tea with my Mom every day for over 2 weeks.
Instead of putting individual pictures into this blog, I've added a link. If you click on the title ABOVE (not to the left) ("Mom's Visit to Denmark"), another window will open with my pictures of Mom's trip.
We miss you Mom!
Knus og kram (xoxoxoxoxo)

We're skipping the pond July 23, at 9.10pm, to finally move to the land that we love so dearly--Denmark. We have eagerly awaited the opportunity to see Dave's family for an extended period of time. We hope to learn Danish so that it is our second language, eat pastries (and plenty of stinky cheese), learn to drive standard...and much much more. We can't wait to show you pictures of where we go and what we do.
