Again, sorry for the lax posts. We have my parents here in town now for a couple of weeks and I have slowed down yet again with posting pictures from last month! I'll begin where I left off with the last post. Justin's sister and nieces left on June 19. And so did we. We flew out the same day and while they left for Illinois, we left to catch a cruise out of Stockholm, Sweden. It was a 4 day cruise that started and ended in Stockholm with stops to St. Petersburg, Russia and Talinn, Estonia. Justin's parents went with us and we joined some other couples from the base. It was a lot of fun and went so fast! Olivia did great as we pushed her through some serious all day touring in both Russia and Estonia. She has become quite the seasoned traveler at such a young age! I will start the posts with Stockholm. We got there on a Friday night and did not leave for the cruise until Saturday afternoon so we had a good morning to check out the sights of Stockholm. It is a beautiful city! We knew nothing about it and were thoroughly impressed. It is one of those "water" cities. Channels everywhere with little bridges leading out to small islands. Everyone has a boat and as we found out leaving Stockholm from our cruise ship, many people live on their own little islands! It's clean, the people are friendly, and the sights are nice.
Captured this moment on the plane to Stockholm. Daddy and O enjoying the view out the window.
O and the Royal Palace guard smiling and waving to each other. Unlike the palace guards in London, these guards can steal a glance at people, smile and even give small waves.
Here we are entering the old pedestrian center of Stockholm. As you can tell, O is very excited.
O and I posing over one of the bridges leading to the old city.
"Stockholm is #1!"
The Stockholm Opera House.
O and I posing in front of the statue of St. George slaying the dragon.
This was our day at sea. Not a great picture of O but proof that Justin actually went on the cruise with us! He's in the background.
