10/22-11/2 After my return from Copenhagen on the 14th we had a week in town before our scheduled trip out to the west coast to visit Jessica and Kris. Kim and Marty, Kris’ parents, stopped in early the next week for three nights giving us the opportunity to show them a bit of Charlotte. […]

10/5-10/14 Our final day in Copenhagen would be a busy one.  We’d watched the weather forecasts carefully and aware that rain was on its way scheduled outdoor activities for Sunday (Boat Tour) and Monday (Cemetery and Christiania) leaving a couple of indoor options for a rainy Tuesday. Once again, Bev and I made our way […]

  10/5-10/14 Monday would be another day in Copenhagen with a Simone and Dillon as our tour guides. We took our usual train into Norreport Station, then the number 5 bus into Norrebro to a stop almost directly across from our first visit of the day, Copenhagen’s Assistens Cemetery. We’d intended to look for a […]

10/5-10/14 We arrived back in Copenhagen by early afternoon and bade Simone and Dillon farewell until later that day when we would meet them for dinner back in town. Bev and I took the train back out to Vedbaek and settled in for a relaxing afternoon by ourselves as Maria and Gorm had accompanied the […]

10/5-10/14 Our plans for an early start were sidetracked as we all slept in pretty late, given our post midnight bedtime the night before and the long tiring day that preceded it.  Bev’s knock on or door roused Francois and I around 9am and within a short time, we’d showered, dressed and prepared for another […]

10/5-10/14 Maria gave Bev and I a ride to the Vedbaek train station making our trip to the Copenhagen airport simpler than if we’d walked down to the take the bus.  Simone and Dillon were to meet us at the airport and while we waited for them there, we each got a bite to eat, […]

10/5-10/14 This trip all started during a phone call with my sister Bev one-day last spring. She mentioned that she planned to travel to Copenhagen in the fall to spend time with her son Dillon. He has been living there since the middle of last year, and she had flown there for a night during […]

September 4-7, 2015 We arose early enough Sunday morning to eat a good breakfast, drink a cup of coffee and take care of personal hygiene tasks before suiting up and hitting the road for the 20-minute drive back to Damascus.  This time we parked on the other side of town in a public parking area […]

September 4-7, 2015 The invite came via email from Chris, the organizer, in early spring.  The 10th annual Virginia Creeper Trail Campout and Bike ride was to be scheduled sometime that summer.  We’d joined this group a few years back and had a thoroughly enjoyable time.  Emails traded hands and before too long Labor Day […]

August 28-30 Cleaned up, we piled into the cars and drove out to the Visitor’s Center for a bit of boating action. Sarah and Hans had brought one of their Kayaks to paddle with the intent to rent another to accompany it while we would make do with a pedal boat. Upon arrival we discovered […]
