Stockholm, Sweden

Our first spontaneous weekend trip was a success. We bought tickets on a Thursday and flew out Saturday morning. We didn’t even book a hotel until we arrived!

I’m a major planner in all aspects of life. (I’m working on being more flexible!) Matt on the other hand, can do things on a whim...except when it comes to traveling. He likes to get his historical research in before arrival. Well, not this time!
We usually opt for a self guided walking tour, but went for the bus tour this time. Not a bad idea when it’s freezing outside!
Matt couldn’t help himself! He squeezed in some research Sunday morning and made our schedule for the day. I love it!
Overall, it was a great weekend. We were a few days too early for Christmas decorations, but from what we could tell Stockholm is a great place to spend the holidays. Traveling from country to country is SO easy with an airport express in each city and even wifi on the train! And we enjoyed the Swedes!

A beautiful city of 14 islands connected by 57 bridges. And let’s not forget - the birthplace of Ikea!
