Svendborg!

We started the journey to Svendborg with me getting picked up by honey and steen in the Porsche! It is an awesome car, but with 3 people and their luggage, you could say it was a little crammed!

From there we drove 3 hours to get to Finn and Bodils house, where honey and steen have an apartment in the downstairs of they house! The next day, steen and I went on an all day sailing trip to the surrounding Danish islands! It was lots of fun! We ended it by doing a sunset sail, and got to sail into the night and didn't return to the harbor until around 11:30 pm

Aarhus with Anne Sophie and family!

After the family reunion, I rode back to Aarhus (denmarks second largest city) and stayed with Anne Sophie (a cousin) and her parents! We were exhausted from the late nights from the family reunion, so we hung out at the beach for most of the day! The following day we went into town and spent hours doing one of our favorite things, shopping! When we returned home hours later, we enjoyed an amazing meal inside their greenhouse in their backyard! Then because we were so exhausted we spent the night watching movies and trying all kinda of Danish candy! The next day we woke up early and headed into town again and got in line to visit the famous Aarhus museum! The pictures of the colored structure are from the very top of the museum, it is called "The Rainbow" and you can walk around the tunnel and see the city through all the different colors! It was so beautiful, especially because we were up there while the sun was rising! 

Family reunion in Bigum!

After Copenhagen, we took a 4 hour drive to the town of Bigum, where the big family reunion was taking place. It was at a summer house that Honey and all her cousins have taken care of and kept up since Honeys grandpa bought it many years ago. There was around 50 people and we had a big lunch and all day party! There was also a meeting of all the cousins of the house where they discussed maintenance of the house and how to keep it in the best condition. It was a great chance for me to finally meet all these relatives that I have heard about but not met in person until now! Everyone was so welcoming it really made me feel at home and like I truly belonged there :) The party went all through the night ending with a bonfire with the cousins! It was a great weekend! 

Copenhagen, Denmark!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Denmark has been amazing!! I started off flying into Copenhagen, where I spent the day on a bike touring the city! The first picture is of me at the Queens square, where the royal family lives! I stayed in the city for 4 days with Christopher (my cousin) and his parents. We went to the tivoli amusement park and of course had some ice cream :) I went on some really big rides that Christopher was too afraid to go on! I also went to a Viking exhibit at the museum where I learned all about my ancestors ;) And then after that we went and saw the little mermaid and biked along the harbor, it was so beautiful. I really fell in love with the city and I am looking forward to coming back!
