Trip to Aalborg

Last weekend, we left for a trip to Aalborg, Denmark, where Andreas is from. We went up to visit his parents. It's about 4 hours away. It was nice and relaxing! Ingegerd and Johannes live in a small little village outside of Aalborg. It's very quiet and surrounded by farmland. It's nice to go up there sometimes to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.


Marianne (Andreas' sister) had dropped off her kids with Grandma for a romantic trip to Berlin with her husband Søren. So we were there with her three daughters. We had fun with them. We took them to an aquatic center and to McDonalds afterwards one of the days. Here's a picture of Andreas with Karoline and Sofie.



The girls aren't allowed to play too much computer at home, so they had a ball playing all of our different computer games and our Wii. Here's little Matilde knocking Andreas out in boxing. She was really cute and so proud of herself.



One day while we were there, Andreas and I took a trip alone up to the coast. Andreas got permission to take the car, in which he was thrilled. He has a drivers license now, but has no means of using it now! We bike everywhere. But he has the car bug. He can't stop looking at the BMW website.


We drove up to the beach and took some pictures. It was cold, so I didn't really want to walk down the beach. So Andreas ran out on the beach to get his wiggles out (check out his jumping jacks below). But then he talked me into walking down the beach after all.





Check out the old German bunkers behind me left from WWII.

All in all it was a nice trip!

That looks really cold. Pretty though. I love the little girl playing the Wii. Kids are always good at that stuff.
