Off to Copenhagen
My next post will be after a weekend in Copenhagen with Quincy. She is already there scoping out the situation. From her email, "Our hotel street is kinda like Belltown. Loud up until... 11:30 or so... seems like a good neighborhood though. Soo many bicycles!"
Today I had to go to the store to buy comfortable shoes for all the walking I plan on doing this weekend. What a waste! So many cute shoes with peek-a-boo toes and wedges were teasing me to buy them, but no, I had to spend my money on athletic-like shoes. Next thing I know I'll be buying a sweat suit and headband too.
I've been preparing the kids for the time without mom. Karsten said to me, "you're going to break my heart." Great, as if I don't have enough mom guilt as it is. We've been having conversations about Scotland too. He asked me if they have pizza there. I said, "I don't know. What do you think they eat in Scotland?" He said, "boiled stomachs." All this he learned from Scooby Doo!
Ok, time to finish packing. I'm trying to push myself to stay up really super late and then get up really super early so I can be nice and tired for the plane. I hope it works.

When he was saying "boiled stomachs", he was referring to that culinary delight known as haggis. I hope you're bringing some back for us.
