Our Last Forgotten Giant: Thomas On The Mountain

My 4th post of the week. For those keeping track, have no fear, I am not finished with the giants/trolls yet!! Because I still have to write about the 5 days I spent volunteering to help build a new one!!! But before doing that, I wanted to find the 7th giant: Thomas on the Mountain. […]

Rome, Copenhagen, and shenanigans galore.

You may be wondering “Where are the other 2 members of your immediate family?” or thinking “ok, kinda tired of seeing you and the youngest only, would love to see pics of the other 2 as well!” And you are not alone in these thoughts! The eldest has a very demanding social life – especially […]

Forgotten Giants continued: Little Tilde, Hilltop Trine, and Sleeping Louis

The first week of June the youngest and I found Little Tilde and Hilltop Trine. By this point Denmark had entered Phase 3 of re-opening and she and the oldest were back in school, in the classroom. She no longer had her 2 hour long lunch break. We had used the lunch break to look […]

American teens in Europe, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and dinner at Chin Chin.

If you have read the list “Hidden Europe: The Top 20 sights you’ll see when traveling with your teen,” (snort) you will have a greater understanding of the Saturday afternoon argument that is threatening to become routine in our family. The weather was glorious (and based on all 4 weather apps I consult, I was […]

Bikes, trains, troll hunting, nude beaches, smørrebrød, and friends: A perfect day trip to Greve Strand.

We had the good fortune to connect with friends (our next door neighbors) from Cambridge, MA (We lived there summer 2012 to summer 2013). Christine, the mom, is half Danish, so I had reached out to her a few weeks ago, and turns out they were going to be visiting Denmark! So we made plans […]
