london + copenhagen

on my 2nd week of my new job we went to copenhagen and london. it was a GREAT trip and i loved getting to know my new team on the road. copenhagen was very cool (my 1st time there). we shopped, took a day trip to a tradeshow in sweden and ate some awesome food. in the london, the highlight was the weather (no rain!) and of course more shopping, eating and drinking. awesome trip!
