Stockholm

Here's another throwback to last summer and our two days in Stockholm, Sweden. I loooove that city, not the least because I think that people in Stockholm are so beautiful and stylish. It's just so nice to sit there in a cafe and people watch. This time we did some touristy stuff too because I wanted to show Stockholm sights to the kids. One day we did a tour of the royal palace and the next day Skansen (an outdoor museum).

Not a bad view on arrival

The old town streets are so picturesque 

And so many lovely cafes

The gilded gold of the royal palace

Next time I want to take a little dinner cruise around Stockholm

Different day, different ship.  

Goodbye beautiful people of Stockholm

But always nice to go my beloved Finland

Ship Ahoy

Here's a throw back Thursday post from last summer. 

Since we don't often get the chance to go on a ship it felt very exotic to cruise from Turku to Stockholm on the Viking Line this summer. We took lots of pictures, and even more selfies on the ship deck. Like real tourists, ha! While everyone else made a beeline to the buffet and the bars as soon as the ship left, we had the deck pretty much to ourselves. It was a beautiful evening and sunset, and the archipelago offers gorgeous breathtaking beauty that nourishes the soul.  

A happy memory.
