Matt and Melissa are here! March 2019.

We were super exited to have our cousins Matt and Melissa from Atlanta come visit us for a few days.ac6bafd3-89f5-4a49-96db-750aeeb0cc83.jpgWe got to play tour guide and show them around. First stop being coffee/tea/treats.

4DE12684-A2FD-45A7-888B-8067AA4C626EWe walked up the water to visit the Little Mermaid.

Andrew walked along the water, and to no one’s surprise, managed to partially fall in. A Dad nearby looked on panicked, but we are used to this by now and waved it off. He was fine.IMG_4318Right by the Little Mermaid (and our house) is Kastellet. It’s a pentagon shaped citadel that was in active use from 1624 to the 1830s. Some of the buildings are still in use today. It also serves as a public park. We call it the star park, because that’s what it looks like on the map. Matt, Andy, Katherine, and Melissa standing by the Rows, old soldier’s barracks. Andrew is on top of the ramparts.

The Dutch styled windmill was built in 1847, replacing the original one built in 1718. It sits atop the King’s Bastion. 4F4F675D-B970-47D5-8973-BF890041B4B2img_4349.jpgAndrew exploring again, he wanted seaweed apparently. He almost fell in again, he might have… “Good thing we are close to home.” he said. IMG_4353

We dropped the kids off and popped in for drinks at Tap10 down the road.IMG_4356Before they left, we managed an adult only dinner at Tight. Really good. Andy got his mussels frites again, Matt and I got ribs, and Melissa got cod. One of my favorites, apple crumble for dessert.

Such fun time with the cousins, lots of great conversation and fun. Melissa is now Katherine’s new bestie. Can’t wait to see y’all when we come home!
