Andrew and I dropped my parents at the airport in Copenhagen on Sunday, so they're in Paris now (wearing scarves and berets and eating baguettes, I'm sure), but not before spending a wonderful weekend in Copenhagen. Friday morning we woke up early and hit the road to Hov, which is where the ferry to Samsø left from. We spent a few hours on Samsø, a beautiful little island that would probably make a wonderful place to have a summer home or a weekend getaway. We drove up to Nordby, the town where my mom's family originally came from, for lunch, and then down to the southern point of the island to catch our ferry off the island to head to Copenhagen.

On Saturday, we toured Copenhagen by boat. The city has many canals and we hopped on a canal tour to see the big sights before spending the afternoon on the Strøget (the main shopping area in the city and the longest pedestrian shopping area in Europe). After shopping, we went to Tivoli and then back to our hotel for a lovely dinner. All in all, it was a great weekend and wonderful to have some visitors! More photos on
