CHAPTER 11:
The next day…
"Welcome to the Rosenborg Castle," Aubrey said.
"Built as a country summerhouse in 1606," Chad added, reading a brochure.
"It's so beautiful I wouldn't mind spending a summer here," Emily said.
"That would be cool," Stacie said.
"I could definitely picture using this place as a sound studio to work on my music," Beca said.
"How would you pull that off?" Aubrey asked.
"I'd make a wing for my own," Beca said.
"What do you say we look inside and see if that's even possible," Chloe suggested.
"Definitely!" Emily said as the group went inside the castle.
Once the group made it inside, they took a tour of the castle and got to see a museum full of artifacts that spanned from the 16th to 19th centuries. It was known as a castle widely visited by locals. The one place the group saw the perfect opportunity for taking pics was the treasury which featured the Crown Jewels and Danish Crown Regalia.
"If you were a queen, would you wear a crown like that?" Benji asked.
"I probably would. But then again, we'd need a crown to make you my king," Emily jokingly said.
"I think we'd look fabulous in all this jewelry. Wouldn't you say so, babe?" Jessica asked.
"Totally. I could definitely see myself wearing all of this. Especially this jade necklace," Ashley said.
"Wouldn't that crown make me a princess, Mommy?" Grace asked.
"It would. All you need a good dress to go with it," Alice said.
"I have one at home that would match well with that crown," Grace said.
"I can see that. You could resemble the people in those pictures on the wall," Alice said as she and Grace looked up at each one of the pictures.
"Maybe there could be a beautiful picture of me up there someday," Grace thought.
"Well, a beautiful girl like you can dream. But even if it can't be on that wall, we can certainly put a similar picture on our walls back home," Alice said.
"Better than nothing, I guess," Grace said.
After the group made it back outside...
"I really think I got some good pictures of the treasury," Emily said.
"Me too. I can't wait to post these later on," Benji said as Emily's phone rang.
"Oh, Garrett's requesting a FaceTime call," Emily said, answering her phone. "Hey, Garrett."
"Hey, Emily. How's Copenhagen?" Garrett asked.
"We are loving it here. We've been to so many places over the last few days," Emily recapped.
"Well, Shannon and I have been thinking about you guys the last few days," Garrett said.
"Oh, that's great. Where is Shannon right now?" Emily asked.
"She's feeding Lucy. She'll join me in the call in a little bit," Garrett said.
"Oh, okay," Emily said.
"How's everything back home?" Benji asked.
"Oh, it's great. I just got home from work and Shannon and I are trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Speaking of which, here she comes now," Garrett explained as Shannon joined the call.
"Hey, guys," Shannon said.
"Hey, Shannon. How's Lucy doing today?" Emily asked.
"She's been having a good day today. She hasn't been as fussy today as she was the last few days," Shannon explained.
"Oh, that's good. Well, we'd love to talk more, but Garrett and I need to figure out dinner for tonight, so we'll see you when you get home," Shannon said.
"Bye, guys," Emily and Benji said, hanging up.
"It was nice to hear from them," Benji said.
"Definitely. Come on, let's go get something to eat ourselves," Emily said as the rest of the group eventually came out of the castle.
