Copenhagen

We're in Copenhagen for a quick vacation.  What a fabulous city!  The weather has been great too.  Copenhagen is as you would expect - cool architecture, gardens, great food, and very nice people.  We had no idea the oldest amusement park in Europe was a few blocks away from our hotel - supposedly Walt Disney was inspired by Tivoli Gardens.  We've also met up with a friend of JD's, Casper, who has taken us to some great places to eat and a hip new area in the meatpacking district.

Day 1
Arriving Tivoli Hotel, Sky Bar, meeting JD's friend Casper, walking through hip new area "the meatpacking district" to dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant Le Le Nha Hang.

Day 3
Tivoli Gardens during the day.  Those cool purple flowers are called "allium".  Alex loved the roller coaster he rode it four times.  Great Danish meal on the lake with lots of beer and schnapps.  We also got to see them feed the piranha in the aquarium.  Dinner with Casper at hamburger joint Cocks & Cows with "tattooed" buns.  There's a bit of a hamburger thing going on in Copenhagen.  Casper is a foodie and knew all the great places to eat in Copenhagen.
