Swinging in Stockholm.....

Stockholm was the first city we visited on our trip. We flew in the night before so we could see the city and so we didn't have to worry about missing the boat. The city was lovely. The people were very friendly and helpful and we didn't have any trouble finding our way around.

There are only so many monuments, though, that the kids can handle. The girls and I set out to find some fun, and we did. (The following is a testament to the city of Stockholm and their kind people. When we set out on foot, we must have looked a little lost rather than like the adventurers we were, and a woman went out of her way to ask us if she could help us find our destination!) There was a great park just around the corner from our hotel.









But don't forget all the fun you can have INSIDEthe hotel- for example with the luggage elevator. Thanks to Uncle Crunchy, the girls got many "rides."




Here they are hanging out on the ginormous bed and watching cartoons in Swedish...I guess it's still fun.



And don't forget the fun that can be had in the extra large shower : )

Looks like the girls had a BLAST! I remember loving staying in hotels as a kid! I still do! Big beds! Free small shampoos! But no cartoons in Swedish--that's new! Great pics! Love it!

Spring break whirlwind!

I am sorry that I haven't posted this week. Diesel, I am so glad you figured out how to leave comments- we commented back on some of them! It was good to hear from you. I will try and do a catch up and post and then try to post more regularly next week...when time slows down, again. Nanny, I hope you made it home okay. The little engines were asking about you all day. We went over how you will be back, several times. I think they get it : ) Of all the weeks we have had here in Italy, I can honestly say, none of them have gone fast- except this past week. We drove Nanny to the airport this morning and it seems like we were just there to pick her up! This time, we went the right direction and it took much less time, fancy that. (You would think that with a map and a car we would be okay, but it is seriously difficult to get around here. You have to know several towns past your destination town that might be marked on the signs and then might not be. For example, you want to go to Ven...

S-LOVE-enia

We went to a tulip festival My Man wanted to visit- he loves tulips (little-known fact) and he really LOVES Slovenia! Really. When we are there he makes comments like, "These are my people." Hilarious. Of course there were rows and rows of flowers, but it was in a lovely park with walking trails and activities for children. The cultural differences between Italy and Slovenia are obvious. The children WAITED in line for a turn to play on the dinosaur. Oh, and before that, there were people in the parking lot helping festival-goers park in an orderly fashion.

Italian Pottery

Once upon a time, we were on a mission to a town called Nove. We knew it was Wednesday afternoon and therefore some stores might be closed. We knew that we didn't have the exact store names. We knew that it would be several hours' drive away. We were on a mission to find beautiful Italian pottery . Some of you may know that My Man is 1/2 Italian. His grandmother did a bit of painting in her time. Sure, she was Italian, and sure she was painting on ceramics, but that isn't exactly what we had in mind . She would buy the white ceramic pieces and then paint them...no we were looking for something more in the line of "art." So, we set off. Aunt D is our trusty navigator- always. It is very difficult to navigate here and she really does a wonderful job. Uncle Crusty was at the wheel- he also does a great job. It's not easy to "just drive" while all the other eyes in the car try and figure out which way to go. As he says, he knows he's in trouble whe...
