Last week, the girls and Chad all had Thursday and Friday off from work and school, so we did a few day trips. On Thursday, we didn't have any definitely plans, we just decided to head in to Copenhagen in the general direction of a couple museums we knew about. After getting off the train, we walked through the University of Copenhagen's Botanical Gardens.
It was so pretty.
The Copenhagen Botanical Garden was established in the 1600's, but didn't move to it's present location until 1870. They have a huge variety of plants, from all over the world.
They have a lot of statues of Greek God's places around the gardens, but the neatest part (I thought) was the Conservatory.
Basically, it's a huge domed glass greenhouse. It was a pretty chilly day and once we walked inside, it suddenly felt like we were back in Florida. Especially when we climbed up the rickety spiral staircase to walk around the top, we were all sweating!
After leaving the garden, we wanted to head over to the Geological Museum, but after wandering around for quite some time, looking for the entrance, we finally realized it was closed. Across the street though, is the Statens Museum for Kunst, the national art museum.
It's a huge building and after walking inside and finding out they closed in an hour, we decided we better save it for another day. It was still early in the day, and I wasn't ready to go home, so I talked my family into walking toward the Marble Church.
It was a bit farther to walk than it looked and when we got there, it was closed and under construction or something. I only took one picture and it doesn't really do it justice, it was very beautiful. So, another place to visit in the future. By this time, the kids were all grumpy and we were all kind of tired of walking, so we just headed back through the Strøget, toward the train. It was a bit of a lackluster day, but we still enjoyed getting out of the house and enjoying time with the family.
