Hans Christian Andersen Museum — Attraction in Solvang

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at the bookstore today. Apparently, during our visit, my son had thrown a book, but the people working there didn’t mention this to myself or my husband. When we were checking out, the individual asked why we weren’t purchasing that book. The remark was made in a very rude way, and again, this was not addressed real time.
