We had planned the trip for a few years, but hadn't been able to pull it through. We're so glad it finally happened, by far, one of our favorite places we've been. Kevin's parents joined us in this adventure as we tracked down some of Kevin's ancestors.
First stop was Denmark. The city was unique
as well as its people
Our next pit stop was Uppsala, Sweden. We rented a cabin on a lake.
We spent countless peaceful hours fishing, here's our dinner!
Monica loved the pike fish, she still talks about how good it was. Definitely, fresh food!
With the help of some super nice Swedish members, we tracked down Kevin's great-grandfather's siblings
The pretty cemetery in Nashulta, Sweden
We toured Stockholm with its many archipelagos
Monica and Bella got to play Swedish royalty
The got some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa
They overcame their fear of animals (for a few minutes only) and pet a goat
They bonded over long walks
We got to tour the Vasaa Museum, which houses a boat from the 1600's that sank and retrieved in the 1960's
Last stop, Finland. We took a boat ride through the islands off Helsinki
Got to eat some fresh produce and seafood at the Helsinki's farmer's market
and got to see more old boats. The highlight of our trip to Finland was definitely the reindeer meat we had for dinner!
