Copenhagen/Legoland

A long while back--last October to be exact, we took a short family trip with Gitesh's parents to Denmark.  The highlight of the trip was of course, Legoland.  This will make our third Legoland location in 1 1/2 year.

We started out on a very early flight to Copenhagen, a very beautiful city that had too much to offer and not a whole lot of time.  

By the time we settled into our hotel and relaxed a bit, it was time for lunch.  We found an indian restaurant that was open for lunch.  As we were walking on the streets, we noticed how the cyclist  had their own lanes.  So, there was a walkway for the pedestrians, cyclist lane, and the road for the cars.  There was street lights for the walkers, bikers, and the car drivers all over Copenhagen. I thought it was the most fascinating thing I has ever seen.  

After lunch, we walked passed the town square where the boys had a great time just running around chasing birds.

We now headed for Tivoli Gardens.  Tivoli been opened since 1843, and is the second oldest amusement park in the world.  We didn't know what to expect, but were amazed at how wonderful the whole park is and how well maintained it was. The park had some really good rides, some I haven't seen before.  Its so big that we didn't get a chance to see it all.  The boys had a great day enjoying rides and eating treats all day long.

The next morning, the boys had a chance to burn some energy at the outdoor workout area.  It's was right on the river where joggers can stop and do some workouts.  The more time I'm spending my time here, the more I'm falling in love with it.  

We made a short stop before we started our drive to Legoland, to see "The Little Mermaid."

Onto the drive to Legoland.  It was long drive.  We realized how Legoland is built in the middle of nowhere. The Legoland Factory is also right next to the park.  It's too bad that we were not abel to see it.  We did make a small stop on our drive to see the North Sea.  Boy, it was cold out there.  

A sign that made us all laugh!

We finally reached Legoland Hotel!!!  It was a total surprise for the boys!  They wanted to stay at the hotel since they discovered it in California.  They were so excited that when we went to our room, they ran around like little crazy people. 

It's the morning of Legoland!!! The boys couldn't wait to start there day!  This is the original Legoland that was build in 1968.  The age is showing on this park.  The boys were thrilled to be at the first Legoland Park.  

What a fun day!!!! We headed back to Copenhagen that same evening to fly back home in the morning.  It was a short but very fun mini vacation.  I hope Gitesh's parents had a great time as much as we did!
