A Daring Adventure for Two: Best of Denmark

At 4 AM on the day after Thanksgiving, some people are standing in line to buy flat-screen TVs. E was in our living room, sitting in the new rocking chair with C. Here's what she thought:

Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in Denmark. And for dinner we had leftover pizza. But in the last two days I went to mothergroup and chatted in Danish with five new friends and their babies. With the magic of the Internet, I spoke to my whole family in real time and "talked" with three of my dearest women friends. A sweet Danish friend borrowed a carseat, drove us all to IKEA, and watched C while B and I played Goldilocks and tried out every chair in the store. Now I'm snug under the quilt my mother-in-law made, in the chair my husband built, with my tiny girl sleeping on my chest.

So it doesn't get much better than that (unless of course we had all of you here with us too)! And in that spirit of thanksgiving, here's the best of Denmark according to E and me. Enjoy.
