Copenhagen

Traveling makes me happy! So here is a tid-bit of information, pictures and thoughts on places I've been
Travel is a passion of mine, so I threw it up on this blog of mine. ENJOY




København 


Copenhagen was such an amazing city to explore. I had never been before and it's not a city that's underrated in my opinion. I didn't know what to expect which made it exciting and mysterious!
We got the flight for about $400. $400!!!!!! That's the only reason we went. My parents could not ignore airfare that cheap. The catch: the flight was from LA. We live in Utah. That's right, we drove 12 hours just to get on the plane. We spent an hour at the beach after the long car ride, then headed to the airport. I left my new, warm, convenient, awesome, basically magical parka on the flight. It's the kind that could roll up into a little bag and it rolled away under my seat and I forgot it. And Copenhagen in March is freezing. So I would suggest not losing your parka. And...
  1. Wear a scarf. Everyone in Europe does it and they look fashionable and classy and sophisticated. Yes, even the men. Especially the men. I think American boys should follow suite ;)
  2. Wear leggings under pants. Helped so much!
  3. Invest in a good pair of walking shoes with good insulation, room for thick socks and strong soles
  4. Layer up! 
  5. Insulation! Copenhagen was the bone-chilling kind of cold because it's surrounded by water and far north. The humidity can soak through cotton and most fabrics, so wear wool or polyester or coats like this <And they're on sale!! Seriously, these coats are so warm and are not bulky or heavy
  6. Wear gloves and hats. Remember: no cotton. Also comfort, warmth and durability are more important than fashion

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

On the seventh day of Christmas

December gave to me....early out from school! Davis made their goal of getting $6,500 in 5 minutes during our "Dash for Cash" and earned a 'Christmas Officer Talent Show Assembly'. Otherwise known as 'Go Home After Four Shortened Class Periods.' So we got out at about 11:45 and Emily, Amy, Ruby, Emily M and I went to Fiiz and Bowman's to get stuff for friend gifts. I got some Lindt truffles. We went to Emily's for lunch, then Emily and I went to Farmington Station for a successful holiday shopping trip. Then we went and got her little sisters; Christina and Ellie, and I got Ptolemy and we went to Alexander's Bad Day at Kaysville Theatre. My mom ended up going too and taking Xanthe and Tizzy, who we hadn't had room for in Emily's car. It was such a cute movie! Then I took Ari and her best friend Ellison to Yogotogo. They're such cute girls. It's funny to hear their Junior High stories/experiences/slang. Oh those good ole' awkw...
