First Rainy Day

Yesterday was the first really rainy day since we got here. What do you do on a rainy day with kids? Museum. Fortunately, we live very close to a museum called Post & Tele Museum. It is a national museum of Denmark's post and telecommunications, and of course we visited the museum a few times last year. I was expecting it to be packed with kids, but to my surprise, the museum was not busy at all. 

The "museum" part of the museum is quite interesting with displays on the history of Denmark's  post delivery and telecommunications. But the great thing about this museum is the floor dedicated for kids to play. They have several slides, and an area where kids get to play"postman". Kids can wear postman uniforms and deliver letters to mailboxes in the houses in the "mini town". The kids loved playing in this area. They usually hate putting on costumes or hats at museums like this, but this time they voluntarily put them on, and they seem to enjoy it.

            

Another great thing about this museum is the beautiful cafe on the top floor. As it calls itself "cafe with a view", you get a fantastic view of the city, and when the weather is nice, you can sit out in the balcony as well. Unfortunately, on a rainy day like this, we did't get much of a view, but the food and service at the cafe are excellent.  The kids shared a kids lunch, and I had a salmon sandwich. It was quite good but way too big... Yuto has been going crazy for butter since we got here. He would put a big lump of butter on his bread, and then he would just lick of the butter, then repeat the same process. The butter sure tastes good here, but it is an annoying habit. Of course he was doing that during our lunch here. 

We actually spent almost five hours at the museum. That includes lunch but I can't believe we were there for that long. I was quite worn out by the end of it, but the kids sure had a good time. And did I tell you it is free to get in? I know we will be back again, and again...
