An 9 hour trip home from the airport.....

Can it really take that long to get back home from Copenhagen airport??? Well it usually doesnt, but yesterday Kristian and I were feeling young and spontanous!!

We left home around 9.20am. We were taking Alessio into the airport to catch his flight. Sara, off course was with us. After throwing the two love birds off at the airport Kristian and I decided we would make a date out of our day. After all Leah was away at the weekend with our church, and the two big ones had their own plans. Now we had the opportunity to be spontanous!

So we headed into one of the big shopping centres near the airport. After wandering around for an hour we decided we would head into Copenhagen and have a walk around there. It was such a beautiful day so we enjoyed the sun and fresh air. We then headed into one of the shopping centres called Fisketorvet. It is built right by the water. We enjoyed lunch in a lovely Italian restaurant over looking the water. It was really beautiful.

Another hour or so wandering around the shops and we had a few more ideas for Christmas presents!! Kristian then came up with the idea that we should check out the cinema and see if there was something good on - and thats what we did.

We ended up going in to see 2012 which we both really enjoyed. The effects were brilliant and I got to shed a few tears, so I was happy!

It was nearly 6.30pm when we came out from the cinema - it was time to head home!! We finally arrived home, happy and content at 7pm!! But we had had a fantastic day just the two of us together:-)

Isnt it great to have a day together with no kids? And lunch sounded lovely. Is Sara ok now Allesio's gone home again? Ok the joys (and tribulations) of young love! I couldnt go through it all again!

It was wonderful a day together without anything planned and nothing to hurry home for. we just went with the flow and just did whatever we felt like....could use some more weekends like that.

yes sara is ok, she misses him but in 23 days she is going down to see him, the week before Christmas...she arrives home here again 23rd or is it 22nd...so she is counting the days! Then he will come here on the 27th I think and they go off to a big go-kart race thing!

lovely picture:-) How still the water is.

Isn't it great to have the freedom to just do what you want without a timetable!
I guess you'll have more of that in the years to come, as the kids have their own lives and plans.

They are probably seeing more of each other than if they lived near each other!

Meant to ask who took the picture Laura?

I cheated with the picture, it is taken from google search picture gallery...but it is fisketorvet. I forgot my camera again on Saturday and it was such a beautiful day. kristian and i were saying how we could get some brilliant shots down by the water...so I decided just to put in a photo from google - just so you got the idea of it all. Wish I could say that I took it but I didnt:-(
