botanical garden copenhagen

one of the great things about visiting denmark is that i get to spent some time with my kids alone. leaving one (or two) behind doesn't make me feel like i let them miss out on the fun: there are grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts around to spoil them. D feels the same and so, some days we'd split, each taking a kid to a special place. but the place really isn't the important thing, it's the time spent, just one parent and one kid, a real date.

one day i took J to glyptoteket, which was wonderful and such a great place to be: we talked about the statues (the ancient egyptian with animals, and humans with animal faces, totally fascinated him). of course i forgot my camera that day, but i didn't forget it the next time i went on a date with one of my boys.

this cloudy day i went with N to the botanical garden in copenhagen. this amazing garden was build and planted in 1874. it has a beautiful palmhouse from the same year, and even though i was at first a bit bummed about the weather that day, i soon felt that the heavy clouds really made the whole scenery even more spectacular. and hey, i had the cutest date, so who cares about a few raindrops?
