T&W Roskilde

Tuesday we all hopped on a train to Roskilde to visit the Viking Ship Museum. This is one of the coolest museums I've ever been to. I've been through the museum a few times and learn something new each time that I missed previously. This time however, I just couldn't go through it again. I failed to mention this to them until we got to the front to get the tickets. haha. Michael has never been inside and while I insisted that morning that he go ahead, he didn't want to. So while they toured the fabulous museum, Michael and I sat and looked at the fjord while drinking a pot of coffee. We had planned to do Roskilde on what we thought would be the coldest day because we would be inside. This worked great except that Michael and I still spent the whole day outside. Oops. On our way back to the train we went inside the Roskilde Cathedral which is beautiful. Again, we've been through it alot and I thought they might really like to see it, much to our surprise, they let us in free because it was so close to closing time. YAY! We only had 10 minutes in there but we ran through it. That night, T&W had asked if they could go to the grocery store, and make dinner. I of course said, YES! We were so proud of them for not only going to the grocery store alone, but suggesting it. They were such great first time overseas travelers!!!

Guests are Gone

Kevin left this morning to head up to Stockholm for a few days. He started to try to book a hostel while he was here but was having a problem finding a vacant place. Finally one person told him it was the weekend of the Denmark/Sweden Soccer Game in Stockholm. Yikes! He did finally find one place and I am sure he will have a great time up there. It's a huge game so I know the Danes and Swedes will be crazy. ;)

It was great to have both Myra and Kevin here for several days. Gave us a chance to hang out around Copenhagen and the surrounding areas before the weather starts getting super cold, though it is already pretty cold here. I had to turn on our heaters last week. Yesterday and today the sun is out and as long as its not behind a cloud it feels quite nice, but once it hides, it gets really cold.

Yesterday Kevin and I went to the Viking ship museum in Roskilde. It was just as good the second time as it was the first for me. Michael still has not been, but I need to drag him over there. He has been to the town before, just not the museum.

All Alone

Mary and Jason sadly left yesterday afternoon and before that Michael left here on Sunday for Boston and Dallas. Now, I am back here, by myself, once again. In all honestly, I'd rather be left here alone then in Dallas while he was hopping over to Europe. So, I don't feel bad for being abandoned!

We had a really fun rest of the time with Mary and Jason. We took them to see a ton more stuff. I'm working on a little something to talk about their trip, but it'll be a few days till I can get it up. For now, I'll just wet your pallet with a few more pictures.

At Carlsberg Brewery - thats beer in my hand, not wine.

We really really really had a great time with them here. It was fun to get to show them stuff that we love and to finally get to show someone our lives here.
They also say to all our friends and family in the states:
"EVERYONE COME VISIT NICHOLE AND MICHAEL IN DENMARK!"

So there it is, come see us!! Mary and Jason said so. As the first guests they also got the sun room named after them. From now on, it will be referred to as "The Partney Suite" If you come, you'll get something too. :)
