I am starting to run out of things to do within walking distance other than going back to the same park again and again, which is fine with the kids but not so fine with me as I would like to see more of Copenhagen that I haven't seen! So I was tempted to be adventurous this morning and ride the bike with the kids in the trailer, and go somewhere. But my ambition quickly dissolved after reconciling a few fights and negotiating with them on what we are going to do today, on top of getting ourselves ready.
So instead, back to walking. No, not to the park. It was sunny but breezy, and it felt cold to go to a park. So we went to the National Museum, which we tried to go but was closed this Monday. The museum offers an extensive collection of artifacts related to cultural and national history of Denmark from prehistoric times to the present.
But our main purpose was to go to the children's museum section. There you could explore how the Danish people lived, played, or dressed in the old days - you could dress up as a knight, ride the viking ship, or try to cook like in the medieval ages. The kids enjoyed playing a little bit in each section, but the place we spent the longest time at was the drawing area. We drew pictures of flowers and trains, and practiced hiraganas (Japanese alphabet) which are totally things we could do at home... But nonetheless, it was just ourselves in this quite beautiful space, so I guess it was worth the trip??
