Amsterdam, Netherlands 2026; Day 3
This is it. Our last full day in Amsterdam and in Europe! Plus it was the birthday of one of our Adventurers. So the post may be more abbreviated than usual because the birthday boy is watching World Cup soccer and finishing this post. We did exactly as Dad wished today which was to visit…
Amsterdam, Netherlands 2026; Day 2
This is our third set of Adventures in Amsterdam and we are developing a pattern. We repeat previous experiences we’ve enjoyed and add new ones as well. This morning started waking up in a hotel in our new neighborhood – near the Museum Quarter. You can gather from the name it’s close to Amsterdam’s most…
Amsterdam, Netherlands 2026; Day 1
Today was the second day of our Lego Adventure. We started by heading to the roof of the Lego House which we had understood to contain a surprise or 2 for those intrepid enough to climb the stairs. On the roof, we found a submarine, a camel, an oversized brick, and swings. All of that…
Billund, Denmark; Day 2
This is the birthplace, in 1932, of the toy company that eventually became LEGO and is still the current home of The LEGO Group’s global headquarters. For 10 years these bricks have been a happy presence in our kids lives. We have thousands of bricks from dozens of sets in our house right now and…
Billund, Denmark; Day 1
Our 5 Adventurers sat around the breakfast table reviewing our wish list for the city of Stockholm. Our flight back to Denmark departed late in the day so we had an opportunity to revisit favorites or explore places that were left on the list. We have taken a few ferries in Stockholm and the kids…
Stockholm, Sweden; Day 3
Mid 60s and sunny might be our favorite weather for sightseeing and we woke up to that today. Yay! We are staying in Gamla Stan or Old Town and yesterday’s Adventures were there and on the nearby island of Djurgården. This morning we ventured into the City Centre. We wanted to balance Mom and Dad’s…
Stockholm, Sweden; Day 2
At this points in a trip, some of the 5 Adventurers are more enthusiastic about morning tours after a day of travel than others. It was true this morning of Day 11 so 2 of us set off to visit the Royal Palace (Kungaliga Slottet). We noticed a number of people walking around the palace…
Stockholm, Sweden; Day 1
We could not possibly improve on yesterday’s experience in Bergen – so instead of trying, we left. This trip has more locations than most of our Adventures. We extended the duration as much as we could and are still only going to a few of the many places on our Scandinavian wish list. Our flight…
Bergen, Norway; Day 2
As you may have guessed at this point, I, Suaram, will now be writing on the blog regularly. (And when I say regularly, I mean about once a trip.) All right. With introductions out of the way, it’s time to talk about the important part – our day in Bergen. This morning, we woke up…
Bergen, Norway; Day 1
Our day began in Gudvangen where we enjoyed the hotel breakfast buffet which had relatively few weird Scandinavian food offerings. We did watch a woman pour liquid yogurt into her coffee but we couldn’t tell if it was an intentional act or a traveler’s mistake. In Gudvangen there is a Viking Village which is adjacent…
