Tivoli by twilight.

Posted by Naomi on Jul 31, 2009 in doing stuff in Copenhagen, summer holidays

Today we thought, if we can get the children to have a nap in the afternoon, we could stay late at Tivoli and see all the lights. I know what you’re thinking … “that trick NEVER works”

(While we were in Spain, there was a circus in Alcudia. We tried to convince Hugo to have a nap in the afternoon so he could go to the circus that evening … not only did he NOT sleep in the afternoon, he fell asleep at dinner time and stayed asleep all the way through dinner. No matter, as the circus was not on that night anyway …)

But this time it DID work. Both children had a long sleep in the afternoon and off we went to Tivoli for dinner and the lights. The weather stayed good YAY and we had fun waiting for the lights to come on. In fact, as we were queued for the Big Wheel, Hugo complained that the lights weren’t on yet and Ta Daaaa! Like magic, the lights came on.

Excitingly, there is also a “Copenhagen Eye” across the road from Tivoli … we hope to go on it when Granny visits next week (YAY!!). I hope the small people are happier than they were on the London Eye.

New York, New York

It was every bit as amazing and exciting as we were expecting! We had a super busy, super fun week and I think I’d even agree to go back again one day.

Highlights … the Natural History Museum, especially the frogs and the stars exhibitions; the Zoo in Central Park; the Metropolitan Museum of Art (I loved the Egyptian exhibit the best); Magnolia Bakery cupcakes; the shopping! and so much more …

We also spent a week in the UK, catching up with family and taking in a few of the sights, such as the London Eye (he was so excited to be going on it. It’s a shame his excitement didn’t quite last the whole way around).

Pollença

We spent a week in Pollença, Mallorca - basically playing on the beach and by the pool, eating good food and enjoying long days of relaxing.

I’ve made an executive decision that we are going to retire there.

Sophia was thrilled with her “Dora Dance” dress …
