Nate and I decided to go to Copenhagen for the weekend. We left on Saturday afternoon and returned Monday afternoon. When I tell people this they think we are crazy, but it is actually really fun. When we go to europe we make sure business class is always open so we sit up front in chairs that are like really comfy recliners with your own personal video screen with like 15 movies to choose from.. It is a red eye there so I usually make myself sleep for at least 6-8 hours of the flight. You get meals and lots of really good snacks including warm homemade cookies and ice cream. If we actually bought the tickets they would probably be a couple of thousand dollars each, but its free for us so we gotta take advantage...right? So anyway we got off the plane at 9 am and off we went. Copenhagen was beautiful and very easy to get around. We saw everything we had planned and were back at the hotel at 8 pm and fast asleep by 8:30 pm. We woke up the next morning at 8, got ready and back to the airport.
This is a famous statue of The Little Mermaid written by Hans Christian Anderson. According to my dad he was in Copenhagen 35years ago on his way home from his mission in Sweden and saw the same statue.
These guys kind of freaked me out a little. They would push people away that would get to close to take a picture by them.
Look closely do you see anything familiar... If you have never been to The Temple Square Visitors Center, this is Thorvaldsen's original Cristus Statue in the Vor Frue Kirke.
President Packer told a story about President Kimball and this statue in April 2008's General Conference.
We took a canal tour around and through Copenhagen.

So I did get a little jet lagged half way through the day. Nate wanted to go to the top of this church to see a view of the city. I opted to stay back and actually fell asleep for a few minutes. You can barely see me in the picture below. Now I found it odd that it was mid day on Sunday and there was NO ONE in any of the churches we visited.
A Statue of Hans Christians Anderson...what a hottie!
I saw this and just melted. I really wanted to buy it, but thought better of it. Cant you see My little Camryn Reading in this dress....soo cute!
