First Visitors

This past month was so great, not only because the weather was sunny and warm almost every day, but because my SISTER and MOM came to visit! My first visitors in Sweden!!

It's always fun to show people around and to see a place that you've become accustomed to through fresh eyes. Their impressions of how quiet the city is (event hough it's busy compared to the winter when everyone was in hibernation), the sheer number and size of the strollers and how delicious and clean our water tastes.

My sister was only here for 2 days but we packed a lot into the time, including:

- Scenic overlooks in Södermalm
- Tour of Drottningholm Palace
- Boat trip through the archipelago
- A fika at Sturekatten
- Meeting my fiancé's siblings
- Skansen
- Vasa Museet
- Walk around Djurgården
- Rushed visit to Design Torget for a little Scandinavian shopping
- Drinks at Mosebacke
- Eating traditional Swedish food at Pelikan, including the very best Swedish meatballs (in my
  humble opinion)
