Dylan's school was one of the last in the country to start and so we decided to take this opportunity to go on a last minute break. Term dates will soon rule our plans and there is something much easier (and usually cheaper) about going away out of season. We chose Denmark as both the bloke and I have always wanted to visit Scandinavia and Copenhagen looked beautiful, child friendly and ideal for our family.

The flight was less than two hours and it is a surprisingly easy country to navigate even with the language barrier. We chose to use airBnB for accomodation so that we had some space to stay up once the kids had gone to bed and we picked a great host for our week.
There is so much to do in Copenhagen, from amusement parks and aquariums to hiring bikes and exploring the city like a local. It certainly isn't a cheap city to explore, but you don't have to spend a fortune to see it well and we had fun finding the best budget restaurants, walking instead of taking transport and making the most of the city's natural beauty.
I have a couple more posts coming up with more detail on our trip, but here are a few photos from our week:
I love Scandinavian kids clothing - it is full of colour and their belief that children should be children was evident everywhere. Babies through to toddlers were pushed around in traditional prams, cosily wrapped up with duvets and children below school age were almost never in jeans. The trend to dress them as min-adults hasn't hit over there and they looked comfortable and fun.
