We’re going to Scandinavia this summer! After much fare-watching, we scored some round-trip tickets to Stockholm in June. Now comes the fun part: where to go? We have two weeks and we’re thinking that, beyond Stockholm, we’d like to see Copenhagen and the fjords of Norway. How should we divide our time? I’ve been asking around for itinerary tips and would love any advice anyone can share. All suggestions are welcome!
Any fun plans this weekend? Downton Abbey ends on Sunday and I’ll be watching with hopes that Edith gets a happy send-off, whatever that means for her.
Here are some other items of note…
