Summer Vacay Part One - Dalarna

Our family's summer vacation started last Saturday, a warm, sunny day that happened to be my Five-Year Swediversary. In January, we planned a long weekend in Dalarna with Ingvor and Roland where we would stay in our favorite cabin and go to an opera concert at Dalhalla amphitheater. After six months of waiting, the trip was finally here.
On the way to our destination, we stopped by Ingvor's sister's where we were treated to lunch on their dock? Their boat? Well, it was a floating deck with a motor attached that we rode around on the lake during our meal. After lunch and a quick dip in the water, we were back on our way.
Moskogen, the hotel/cabin village where we stayed, was hosting a classic car conference and we all enjoyed checking out the fancy cars. Jamie posed with Lightning McQueen...
...Doc Hudson...
... and McQueen's grandma, among others.
 We spent most of Saturday and Sunday at the pool and on the trampoline, then left Jambo with our friends, Per and Caro, and headed to the concert with Ingvor and Roland. The amphitheater was breathtaking and despite the fact that it poured rain during the entire concert, we had a great time.
We drove home on Monday, making a stop at an ostrich farm along the way, then re-packed our bags for our next adventure on Sweden's west coast! More to come!
