Nice Weiners

So in Copenhagen they had these hot dog stands EVERYWHERE - and as a fan of processed meats (seriously I love hot dogs and sausages...not so much ham - but anywhoos... The standard hotdog came in this bun. not like the traditional bun you see where the bun is split so it folds open in half but it has a freaking hole in it.... A FREAKING HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUN! It was almost too obscene to eat - but we ate them anyways - and they were delicious. If just a little heavy on the dressing.

Dinner @ Herman

This post is long overdue...but while in Copenhagen, I was able to go to Herman - a FREAKING amazing white tablecloth type of restaurant. Want to post pics now... but will get to describing what these are later.

Godmorgen Kobenhaven

The first week of October, Forrest and I headed to Copenhagen Denmark...without the baby - AHHHHH! I was headed there anyways for a work conference so we tacked on 5 additional days and headed out for our European vacation. Leaving the house was the hardest to do as Donut seemed to know something was up and was bawling the entire time. But as we checked in later, she missed us but was having a blast with Sam, Molly, Herminia and my mom. The biggest ever thank you goes to Sam and Molly for being fill in parents while we were both gone. The phrase "it takes a village" has never rung more true - and when they have kids, Forrest and I are at the ready to watch their kids so they can get out.

Copenhagen is one a little island called Zealand off the coast of mainland Denmark. It's not a big city, but cute and with lots of culture. My friend's cab driver actually told her "I love living here but I don't know why tourists come here." hahahaha.

We didn't waste a second either! We spent each day with a morning and afternoon outing...walking upwards of 5 miles per day plus a variety of public transit. Here's just a subset of pics - Check out all the pics here

above: Forrest and I at the Viking museum in Roskilde - why does he always look photoshopped into the pictures?

below: Kronborg castle in Helsignor....forever immortalized in Hamlet as Elsinore and now knows as Hamlet's castle. Every summer various productions come through to perform Hamlet.


Holy spire! There is this church in Christianborg that you can walk up to the spire....on the outside! I have never walked so fast up and down stairs in my life...haha

San Jose Half Marathon

I was all trained up to run it... but the week of the race, I threw out my back while on a business trip to Canada so I had to bail. Thoroughly disappointed since I trained for nothing, I put on a "brave" face to cheer on the rest of the team - hahahahaha.
