I thought I would join Kelly's International Week theme this week. Life in Stockholm is a lot like life in cities in The States. One big difference though is vacation time. People in Sweden have over 5 weeks vacation time a year and they really use their vacation. It's maybe for this reason that it is so common to have summer homes. If you ask people in the spring or fall what their weekend plans are. The answer is often that they are heading to the country. Our summer house is about 3 hours south of Stockholm. It isn't fancy at all but it is a place we can go to get out of the city. We spent a few weekends there in September. It is heaven for the boys. We have a little canal where we can go boating.
Mac liked the fishing, Sam preferred his candy. He's the smart one. We only ever catch perch that we have to throw back.
