Spring Break Part 1 and a half: Schiraldis in Stockholm

Trip: 7

Life:17

So just for clarification's sake I've decided to include the country counter thing everytime I go to a different country just to keep track of where I´m at and to make sure Idon't forget to include any. Also you'll see that it's jumped up one under life and trip since the last time I included it and that's because someone pointed out to me that I didn't include Vatican City. So there you go.



This is a picture of the restaurant we went to our first night in Stockholm which was SO GOOD. I didn't realize traditional swedish food was worth trying but it is. We ate Reindeer too which was pretty cool. I also included this picture so you can get a sense of what stockholm looks like. The main tourist-y Island (where the Royal palace and medieval town is) is chock full of skinny old buildings that look like this. It almost looks like a toen full of streets that look like Nyhavn, although if I may say so myself none quite measure up ;)


Nicky at the Vasa Museum, a museum built around this old warship that sunk in Stockholms harbor like 400 years ago.

me acting a fool in another slightly less exciting museum. Yes I will revert to 7 years old if you put me in a boring museum... so will Nick tho. He's taking the picture. At least now we entertain ourselves.

Ice bar with the fam! Notice mom's drink is glowing... not really sure how that works out... the place was definitely for touristsbut sometimes you've got to do those little tourist trap things and going to a bar made completely of ice seems like a worthy time.

Me and Nick at Skansen, kind of like Stockholm's colonial williamsburg but founded as a living museum earlier and intentionally put together in a way that displays traditional life from all over Sweden. Definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself in Stockholm.

pretty cute folks huh?

Me mom and Nick acting fools in the mirror of our hotel room. This vacation was really relaxing as far as Schiraldi trips go, not that we dont ususally have a good time but this time there was no sense of rush and stress at all. Everything we did was at a much more liesurely pace than our normal eurotrips which are usually chock full of sites and museums.

One last family shot in Scandinavia! It was great having my family come see where I live and Stockholm was fantastic. Definitely reccomend it!
