summer in stockholm
I think I can honestly say that there is nothing better than Swedish summer.It may only last one week per year (sob), but when the sun shines, the whole country just comes alive!

arthur’s rock shenanigans
A few weeks ago, our best and most missed friend Laura visited from the desert of Arizona for spring break. To give her a break from the heat, we decided to acclimatize her with a chilly, snow-ridden hike, Colorado-style. The weather was overcast with glimpses of sun here and there. and made for the best…

stockholm and other bits
As I’ve mentioned, most of our trip was spent away from the computer/camera lense, but I did manage to take a few snaps of our surroundings. I always seem to forget how beautiful Sweden is, even in the dead of winter. I’m so lucky to be able to get a yearly reminder! Scroll down to…
