Today was the last full day with my mom, and Jonathan was able to take the afternoon off, so we decided to have a nice lunch at the restaurant we have all been wanting to go - Jacobsen Restaurant. The restaurant is located in Klampenborg, just a little north of Copenhagen. The restaurant and everything in the restaurant - from chairs to silverware to clocks - is designed by Arne Jacobsen, one of the most famous architect/designer of Denmark. We were quite surprised that we were the only ones there when we got there (a few more people came later), but I guess they get much busier at dinner time. The restaurant overlooks Bellevue Beach, which he also designed.
The food was excellent, too - beautiful presentation and execution. And this was just for the "3 light courses" for lunch. Dinner must be pretty fantastic. Oh, and the dessert was amazing, too! It was frozen yogurt with rhubarb sauce on the bottom. Isn't it pretty? The sweetness of the yogurt and the tartness of the rhubarb mixed together tasted so good. I could have eaten five of these!
After lunch, we walked to the beach right across the street and got our feet wet in the water. The water was still very cold. Then we went to Jaegersborg Deer Park, which is on the other side of the station. It is a beautiful national park, and there were a lot of people there for a walk, hiking, picnic, or to visit the little amusement park located within the park. We took a horse carriage ride through the park. The weather was perfect today, and the ride was so relaxing we all felt like taking a nap on the carriage. Our driver was an enormous guy (a rarity in Denmark...), so he was totally blocking our front view, but from the sides, we actually got to see quite a few deer, so that was pretty exciting and the kids enjoyed it, too.
So glad my mom got to enjoy the sunny and beautiful Copenhagen one last time before she leaves for Japan tomorrow.
