“You lay claim to your stories; you honor, with your hard work and the best of your talent, their inspirations, and you fight to tell them well from a sense of indebtedness and thankfulness. ― Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run

Day 13 – Fun in Funen

July 17, 2016 / wendydwyer / 1 Comment

  It’s our last full day in Denmark, so we decided to spend it together at Funen Village, which is a totally awesome place that is part museum, part farm, part play place. It takes you from house to house through old farms set in Funen 150 to 200 years ago. There were farmhouses, barns, … Continue reading Day 13 – Fun in Funen

Day 12 – Farm to Fork – Fresh from Odense

July 16, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

Today we went to the farmers’ market here in Odense. It’s only a few blocks from where we’re staying, but it was a cold and rainy day. Normally, that would make the trip seem like a hassle, but it didn’t seem to bother anyone else in Denmark, so it didn’t bother us, either. I guess … Continue reading Day 12 – Farm to Fork – Fresh from Odense

Kerteminde – A Bowl of Cherries – Day 11

July 15, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

The old saying is, “Life is just a bowl of cherries,” and  today was definitely a bowl of very tasty cherries. We packed up the car, and everyone headed for Kerteminde, a small town on a fjord which was picturesque and very windy. It was so windy we had to do a tailgate lunch, but … Continue reading Kerteminde – A Bowl of Cherries – Day 11

Day 10 – Ballerinas, Borrowed Time, and the Fountain of Youth

July 14, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

Today was a big day in Odense, Denmark, at least for us. We spent the morning at the Train Museum, which was definitely a highlight for Dan and a labor of love for the rest of us, I think. There were loads of antique trains, and the museum was set up so that visitors could … Continue reading Day 10 – Ballerinas, Borrowed Time, and the Fountain of Youth

Day 9 – Castles, Cars, and Kids

July 13, 2016July 13, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

Europe definitely has its share of castles, it seems. In Ireland, we toured one, saw a few others, and even spent the night in one. Other than Caesar’s Palace in Vegas, I’m not sure the United States has any castles. Mansions by the thousand, but no real, historical castles. Today, we packed up a picnic … Continue reading Day 9 – Castles, Cars, and Kids

Day 8 (a little late) – Denmark & the Family Tree

July 12, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

It’s late, and by the time I have internet access and post this tomorrow, we’ll have slept one night in Denmark. Because this was a travel day and I was the co-pilot/navigator (a job no one has EVER voluntarily requested I take on), I don’t have a single photo to share today, save one shot … Continue reading Day 8 (a little late) – Denmark & the Family Tree

Day 7 – Minding the Manor

July 10, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

The last day of any trip is always kind of a bummer, isn’t it? Even with a whole week of vacation left (I have never had a vacation this long in my life!), I stayed in bed just a little longer this morning, hoping it would delay the start of the last full day in … Continue reading Day 7 – Minding the Manor

Day 6 – Top of the World

July 9, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

Initially, our plan was to travel to Glenveagh, north of Donegal (yes, Lisa Michener, the signs have stopped being in English and Gaelic, so we must be pretty far north) to visit the Glenveagh Castle and the national park around it. But once we started reading about the history of the castle, we just didn’t … Continue reading Day 6 – Top of the World

Day 5 – We’ll Never Be Royals

July 8, 2016July 8, 2016 / wendydwyer / 2 Comments

And we'll never be royals, It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz. Lorde   This afternoon we pulled into our digs for the evening. The Lough Eske Castle (and Spa) is a pretty sweet place to place our head for the … Continue reading Day 5 – We’ll Never Be Royals

Day 4 – Get Lost!

July 7, 2016 / wendydwyer / Leave a comment

What a fun day! But before I get to that, do you mind if I vent and ask a kind of awkward travel question? What’s up with the toilets in Ireland? Last night, as soon as we arrived here, the one in our room stopped fully functioning at a very inappropriate time (‘nuff said, I … Continue reading Day 4 – Get Lost!
