Today we went to the botanical gardens and saw the tiniest frogs ever. Then on to the crown jewels! We went to Rosenborg Slot (castle) to view the stately rooms, royal trinkets, and funny old-fashioned portraits (seriously, why don't they ever smile?). Drew, we saw one old Danish king that looked just like you! Underneath the castle we toured the royal treasury where the queen's crown and jewelry are kept when she's not wearing them. So sparkly.
We spent the afternoon with Jens Juel, C.K. Eckersberg, Edouard Munch, Anne & Michael Ancher, Christian Kobke and other bigwigs in the Danish art world at the Statens Museum for Kunst. Also had a great time at the Geologisk Museum, though the displays were all in Danish, so we had to make up stories to go with them. Good times.
Having a great time here in Copenhagen. Wouldn't say no to a blog comment or two though. If you miss us that is.
Love to all,
Jaima and Jillian

Ooh, sounds like you're having a great trip! I'm jealous. Make sure to have some local beer!
Hey Guys! I want pictures of the sparkly jewels! And the frogs. I love little frogs. Not a fan a big ones, but little ones...ahhh.. :) I know, I know we have to wait till you get back.
Spokane just popped into green suddenly, it was sort of a shock to the eyes when I walked outside this morning. It could only be better if the trees suddenly sprouted jewels. Now you got jewels in my head.
Keep having adventures! Or making them or whatever hehe

I hope the change in itinerary will not affect your ability to procure some Danish butter cookies....
Sounds fun! You should go back and record a short video of the wheel that will take 25,000 years to fully revolve. Then post it on YouTube. I would watch it.
Troy, it doesn't appear that those cookies are actually from here. We haven't seen any.
Also, we DID take a video of the clock. I will post it on youtube and you will be the ONLY one to watch it. : )
Hey hon! It sounds like the trip is a blast. Lots of love,
Gordon
