Mamma Mia Here I Go Again

Stockholm!!




During my visit to Stockholm today we visited the ABBA museum! It was awesome! Although I was not alive when ABBA started, it was still cool to learn about them since Mamma Mia is one of my favorite musicals. I didn't even feel too out of place sine I knew all the songs, though I would bet that I was probably the youngest one there!








We also found a Dalecarlian horse! Look how much ice grown! Not to mention I have learned to smile a little better! 


Trying more Swedish foods too, this is a coke like drink that is only sold for Christmas and Easter.

Day 1 of Sweden

(The first time I visited Sweden)

Today I was greater by two of my past Au Pairs, Malin and Jessica, as I arrived in Sweden. Arriving in Stockholm was amazing, the airport is beautiful and extremely well laid out. Not to mention it was snowing and boy do I like snow!! We started out the day by doing the touristy things, aka going to ikea. Trust me ikea is much better in Sweden. It was so great to walk around and catch up since it had been so long since I have seen them! We then headed to Uppsala where Malin lives and visited the largest church in the Nordic region. It was next up to the castle to see the bell that is rung for graduations before heading to do a bit of shopping. We then headed to Malin'd to cook/eat an amazing dinner and reminisce on old times, aka when I was a little baby/crazy toddler... We are off to Stockholm tomorrow so after eating way to much Swedish candy, it is off to bed!! Unfortunately not too many pictures to share today but I will be sure to post more once I get back to oxford!!
