We went to Sweden two weekends ago. Most of my family went there as part of a longer trip a few years ago, so it wasn’t a new country for me. My dad had a former coworker that was going to be Sweden and we found cheap direct flights, so we thought why not?!

On Friday night, we went back to a Viking restaurant where they announce each reservations arrival to the whole restaurant. They passed around a Viking outfit that we all got to wear and take photos.

On Saturday, we went to the ABBA Museum. It’s a museum where you can sing in a booth and go on stage with a hologram band. We had a great lunch at a burger place named Barrels where my sister and I got fun shirts. We stopped at a bunch of different metro stops that were very pretty and intricately painted and designed.

We went to the Vasa Museum on our last morning in Stockholm and we learned about the Viking boat that sank 30m off the pier where it was launched. It had a lot of paintings and statues around the outside of the boat. It was under water for about 400 years so the paint was mostly long gone but the rest of the boat is very well preserved.
