We drove over "the Bridge" today and crossed into Denmark from southern Sweden. It was a really easy drive and we got turned around just once. Unfortunately our good camera lens is on the fritz, so we are now taking pictures with our phones.
Copenhagen is a beautiful city, but we noticed right away there were a lot more tourist (lots of Americans) than in Stockholm. Elizabeth and I figured out a Euro-pass will get you here, but not to Stockholm. We walked around today..weather is close to perfect. Had some GREAT ribs tonight...Davis drank beer and William got some new Knight PJs.
We will post more later this week from Lego Land! All praise Marty Moose!!

HOMESICK...BUT WHERE IS HOME?
Dwight and I have been on holiday for only 6 days and we both commented that we had felt a bit homesick for the first time since leaving the States. But we were not sure the place for which we were homesick. Honestly, I think we both missed the sugar white, sandy beaches and warm Gulf water of the Red Neck Riviera. For those who are able to make a trip to this part of the USA...it is a jewel. And to be only a half day's drive away, we were really spoiled. The beaches here are nice but we could not help missing our home away from home (away from home) in Seagrove. We actually decdied to cut our by two days because we want to get back to Stockholm and enjoy our wonderful home in Stocksund near the Baltic.
The drive through southern Sweden was beuatiful. A lot of farm land that we noticed was immaculate. I mean it looked like these farm house and fields were settings for postcards for the area. But every farm was like that...no peeling paint, no old tires, no run down trucks in yard and the land was manicured with perfection which is quite interesting since we noticed in Stockholm, yards and lawns are hardly even "kept". When Dwight bought our weed eater, he commented that his electic razor could probably do a better job at edging. Luckily, we found out weeds are quite welcome in most yards in our neighborhood...everyone seems to have embraced the natural look.
Anyway, we left the beach and were thrilled to have all gotten some sun and relaxation. Dwight and I were like kids arriving at the Royal Raddison in Copenhagen today. Dwight was excited to have a bellman, elevator and wireless broadband. I immediately dumped all my personal effects of the VANITY (imagine that...what a luxury!!!) and planned a bath for the boys and (bathtubs are scarce in Europe) and a one for me. Did I mention it was to nice to find kleenex and soft toilet paper in the room. Needless to say we are glad to be staying in an American hotel and look forward to our time in Copenhagen.
