The remainder of our time in Gothenburg and Sweden went by really quickly. After our return from the East Coast of Sweden (which I promise to write about soon!) we had two more days in Nösund. We spent one afternoon on the island of Gullholmen visiting friends. (This is the same family that we spent … More Gothenburg, Part Two
Today is our last day in Sweden. Early tomorrow morning we leave for a few days in London before heading home. We are back on the West Coast in the city of Gothenburg (Göteborg) after a few glorious days in Stockholm and the surrounding countryside. Stockholm is one of my favorite cities and our friends … More Gothenburg
The West Coast of Sweden where Sean’s parents have their house is a popular summer destination. The lure of the ocean breezes (although often chilly), excellent seafood and quaint towns attracts tourists from all over Sweden. We have our favorite places that we like to visit, but this year we went to a couple of … More West Coast Adventures
Sean arrived a week ago and we have been on the move ever since, having lots of fun but clearly too busy and tired to blog! And there is a lot to blog about–museum visits, a trip to the gorgeous island of Marstrand, jumps from high dives and fish tales–and we promise we will cover … More The One Where Sean Messes Up the Blog
I haven’t picked anyone up from the airport in years. Usually, I am traveling with my family and we go to and from the airport together. Sean takes a car service when he travels for work and when people come to visit us, they generally find their own way to our house. But, I’m here … More Welcome to Sweden (Sean)

My mother-in-law grew up in Gothenburg and the surrounding area which is over an hour south of the village of Nösund on the island of Orust. Her brother and sister both had summer cottages in this part of the Swedish … More The House in Nösund
Hi it’s Sofia and Oscar! We’ve only been in Sweden for a couple of days but we made sure our first trip was to one of our favorite places. On Tuesday we went to this awesome town on the water near my grandparent’s house called Mollosund. It’s filled with beautiful boats, houses and cobblestone streets. … More Mollosund: A Review
The kids and I have been on the west coast of Sweden at my in-laws summer cottage for a few days now and it feels like we have been here forever and yet also just arrived. Jetlag and long haul flights do that to you, I suppose. The trip over was relatively easy, but from … More We’re here!
We are jetlagged and slightly disoriented but are so happy to be in Sweden.
My parents arrived in Peru on Sunday evening. When they heard that we would be here for the summer, they immediately booked their tickets and planned for all of us to visit Machu Picchu together. No matter where one of my siblings are, (especially if it’s an exotic location), my parents will make sure they … More Welcome to Peru, Nana and Pa!
