My family comes to Stockholm....

My parents, sister, and uncle came to visit me in Stockholm in early July - the first stop on the family European vacation. The weather was pretty horrible (rainy and chilly) over the 3 days they were here. We still trucked around anyway. We did a lot of wandering to see as much of the city as possible in a few days.

(The lady in the background of the picture wasn't the only one staring - jealous, I'm sure.)

Unfortunately, seeing Gamla Stan (Old Town), the parks, an outdoor photo exhibit, and the boat tour of the city weren't quite as nice as they would have been in better weather but we had a good time anyway.

(There are several pictures in this series of her trying to climb onto the horse.)

We did do plenty of indoor things, like the Vasa (famous ship that sank) Museum and the City Hall (where the Nobel banquet is held). The Absolute Ice Bar was one of the big hits of this portion of the trip.
