Stockholm Part One

When my mother-in-law was here, we took her to Stockholm Sweden for four days over Mother's Day weekend. It was a wonderful trip! In hindsight we shouldn't have brought the car so that we could stay more in the downtown core, because traffic and parking was not easy. However, there were so many things we wanted to do and not enough time, so Andrew and I have decided that we will be going back again next year! It was a fabulous trip.
We stayed at a gorgeous hotel on the lake and Maddy got to feed the ducks every morning. She enjoyed watching us smuggle bread from the breakfast buffet table in order to feed her awaiting friends. We visited the Royal Palace and the City Hall, where the Nobel Prize is handed out each year. We also visited the Vasa Museum, with an old ship that took many years to build and only sailed for 20 minutes before sinking. It was very well-preserved and interesting to see. We also walked around Gamla Stan area, which was very cute.
As a future Nobel hopeful, Andrew was pleased to hold the kids in front of the Nobel Museum... we'll see if we ever get to return.
