The Ferry to Denmark

Row, row, row your ferry
gently through the sea
To get to the other side
What a way to ride!

When I think of a Ferry, I think of the one B and I went on to get to my friend's wedding on an island off the coast of Maine. We drove our car on the boat and then we could either chill in our car or watch from the dock. It was cool, but nothing beats this Ferry. There are restaurants, stores, a play area for the kids, a cartoon area playing Tom and Jerry (very language savvy since they don't speak), and, yes folks, there is even a casino.

LOUD and HUGE! That is what I would describe the holding area for all the cars. It's right next to the HUGE motors, so when I read the sign that said, "You must not stay put in your vehicles," I first laughed at the fun English translation, but then thought, Why would anyone WANT to stay down here? It is also ginormous enough to hold three lanes of traffic 30 cars deep. That is a semi parked next to us. 

Logan was not a fan of the wind and he almost threw his shoes overboard. Almost. Dylan's cat-like reflexes caught him just in time. We call him, Shoeless-Lo Chapman. He is often barefoot. 

Dylan also was not a fan of the wind. He yelled, "I don't like the wind! It is blowing the hotness right out of me! I'm cold!" 

The girls, on the other hand, marveled at the new hair styles the wind created for them.  (The tangled aftermath was not so fun.) 

Maleia and Daddy

Haley and Logan
(who kept his eyes closed most of the time because of the wind)

Mommy and Dylan
(who also kept his eyes closed and I was grateful for glasses!)

The blustery couple. Haley can now work the camera. Watch for some good shots coming your way! 

When we got off the Ferry, we were then put on a really cool bridge.
Next stop: Copenhagen!!
