Summer

Close your summer out with a trip to Copenhagen! The capital of Denmark, this increasingly popular city will take your breath away!

Some well known tourist destinations are the Rundetårn, an observatory tower, and the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Filled with post-war masterpieces, allow yourself enough time to really absorb these works of art. Another Copenhagen favorite is the Carlsberg Brewery. With a museum and tasting room, this historic brewery is a must! Also, you will love a visit to the Amalienborg Palace, and be sure to take a photograph of the famous Little Mermaid statue!

RealTraveler European Jackrabbits gives highlights of this city:

“Our next stop was the Amalienbory Slot (or Palace). This is the current residence of Queen Margrethe II. The architecture is very different from back home in South Dakota. After the Palace we decided it was high time that we saw the Little Mermaid. Along the way and across the harbor the new Opera House can be seen. The final building of this structure was completed in 2005. It is a gift to the Danish people paid for by a Danish firm at the cost of 2.4 billion kroner (roughly 500 million dollars). Because it was along the way, we went into the Statens Museum for Kunst (Royal Museum for Fine Art). It contains a collection of Danish and European Art, with some dating back to the 13th century. Currently, the museum had on display the Royal Cast Collection. Now back to the Little Mermaid which is a famous statue that sits in the water. Of course, we all had to take a few pictures.” (more…)

Want to take the kids somewhere exciting? The Tivoli Gardens are the place to be! Enjoy the outdoors and these beautiful gardens as well as some music and nighttime entertainment!

RealTraveler Paul Whittaker tells of the Gardens:

“Saturday night was spen in Tivoli gardens. Briaden managed to win a pack of cards and a bouncy football after chancing his arm at some amusement games. There was a jazz festival on so we watched a couple of acts at the big outdoor stage then the night was rounded off with a top fireworks display.” (more…)

Known for its beautiful fall leaves, Vermont is one of the most scenic places to visit late summer and early fall. Say goodbye to summer with a family trip to wonderful Vermont!

All throughout the state of Vermont, there are attractions for the whole family! Stop by the American Precision Museum, which recognizes the achievements of America’s Industrial Revolution. The kids will love learning about inventions that changed history!

Have a sweet tooth? Take a tour of Ben and Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury! Get an up close look at the ice cream’s production and even taste a sample for yourself! Your kids won’t be able to get enough of this place!

In the mood for some outdoor fun? Take a hike in one of the state parks, including Molly Stark State Park and Elmore State Park. Don’t worry, these hikes are fairly short, so the kids can join in too! Enjoy the beauty that is Vermont!

RealTravelers Brian and Patty share their experience:

“Everything in Vermont seems ‘tamely wild’….not so rugged and rough as our west coast countryside, but still wild and beautiful. What really has struck us about Vermont is that EVERYTHING is small - Burlington is one of the larger (if not the largest) city, and it is probably on par with Eugene, Oregon or even Pullman, Washington…..more college town (UVA) then metropolis. Even the capital Montpelier has the feel of a New England Village rather than a political center. It’s all really cool, and you can understand where Vermonter’s independent spirit and pride comes from as you travel around the gorgeous countryside. (Once again, pix will have to wait until we are home!)” (more…)

RealTraveler kforecki describes Vermont:

“Vermont is, in a word, picturesque. From the lush green mountains in every direction to the small but cosmopolitan cities to the charming covered bridges and corner creameries, Vermont is just delightful.

We started our day at the Shelburne Museum, an outdoor museum filled with well-preserved or restored relics of old New England. I loved the 1920s carousel (interesting trivia: most carousels made at the turn of the century were in New York, which is why we’ve encountered two of them so recently) and the Ticonderoga steam paddle-boat, a luxury cruise-ship of sorts from 1906. (Yeah I definitely pretended that I was on the “Titanic” the whole time J) To my great surprise, the museum was actually worth the $16 (after AAA discount) admission fee. Chalk another one up to our “Let’s Go” guide book!

Then we took off for downtown Burlington, where we walked around College, Church, and Main Street areas. If you’re ever there, you must check out Zappy and Elf’s Stone Soup café — absolutely fabulous and extremely reasonably-priced soups, sandwiches, teas and desserts made with all organic ingredients and served with huge chunks of freshly baked bread. Delicious!” (more…)
