Stockholm Part Two

Like I said, there were so many things to do in Stockholm!!!
The last part of our trip, we walked through the Royal City Park, exploring the different royal palaces and gazebos. We stumbled upon the Butterfly House, which ended up being a real joy! Maddy really enjoyed it and Charlie was mesmerized by their koi tank.
We took a relaxing day trip to Drottningholm Palace, where the King of Sweden lives. You can tour the palace (the parts he doesn't live in) and also the palace grounds. I'm not sure how I would feel about having my grounds open to the public all year round, but the parks were gorgeous and many people were having picnics, jogging, cycling, or just laying on a blanket taking a nap. It was a gorgeous day!
Another wonderful place we went to was Skansen open air museum. It had an amusement park, an aquarium and a zoo. That was likely Maddy's favourite day, although we didn't get to see all of it. We'll have to come back to that one again.
On the ferry boat back, Maddy got a "Little Princess" manicure at the spa on the boat. She was very good at sitting still, and of course picked the brightest colour pink you could imagine....
