A Flop, Pop and Nobel Laureates!

-

Mama: Big last day in Stockholm! We spent quite a while in the Vasa Museum. The Vasa was a war ship built for the king of Sweden in the 1600s. The main purpose of the ship was to be flossy and after 1300 m sank to the bottom of the harbour. It’s the largest intact ship salvaged in history. It was pretty cool! Then for something completely different, we went to the ABBA Museum. I loved it and Bun love love loved it!! She was a dancing queen! We went for a little canal tour and finished the day at the Alfred Nobel Museum - a small but impactful place. The kids were wiped, so they’ll have to add their two cents tomorrow!
Bun: We got to dance with famous stars! But they were just pretend. And we went to a ship museum and read a book about a boat that was sinking because they built it too high. After two wind blows, it fell over. We got to figure out questions (at the Nobel Museum) and get chocolates. I liked the molecules. It was a good day. 
Bud: I got to go to the ABBA museum, we got to see a cool V-shaped guitar. We also got disco balls. Muni got pink and I got gold. We got to go to an inventor’s museum and we got to do little booklets looking around. For one of the answers I wrote about Malala. She was the first kid to ever get a Nobel Peace prize. She was only 17 when she received it. She got it because she was speaking for the right to education. We got a chocolate that looked like a Nobel peace prize. We also got to see a ship that they built too tall! When two gusts of wind blew, it fell over.

The Eye of the Earth!

  Mama: Good-bye Korčula! We packed up the car and plotted the road to the Eye of the Earth - a really cool freshwater spring - at Bud’s request. And after one ferry, two giant bridges, seven u-turns and 200 km, we arrived! It was really cool. And really cold!! It was unexpected, but was probably 5 C! We checked it out and then split for Split! (Great mama joke!) Papa: Google maps has not perfected Croatia. The highways were great, but as soon as you exited, all bets were off! The eye was cool, but definitely needed a drone. It was nice to get to Split. We arrived and unloaded and then found a delicious Indian restaurant in the old town.  Bud: It was a really long and tiring car drive, but it was worth it to see the eye! We don’t know why, but the spring was really cold! Colder than the hotel pool. We weren’t allowed to swim in the spring, but I don’t know if we would have anyway. It was that cold! It was nice to get to our hotel in Split.  Bun: It was a long day in the c...

Mama: We packed up and said good bye to Croatia! The flight was quick and on time. We landed in almost 40 degree heat! It cooled down a tiny bit and we walked for pizza and a quick look at the Colosseum! Kinda bonkers.  Papa: We can see the Colosseum from the hotel. That’s pretty cool.  Bud: I’m excited to something new! The Colosseum is pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see inside.  Bun: Going to Rome is super exciting because one of my friends did her expository on Rome and she was right! I love it in Rome, even though it’s hot 🥵.

“Hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo...”

Mama: Clearly Joey Tribbiani has never been to the foothills of mount Tibidabo. We decided to hike instead of take the funicular. It was supposed to be 20 minutes, but with the unmarked path and useless Google directions, it was closer to 90!! But there was some stunning views. We went to the Tibidabo Amusement Park and then home to get ready to leave.  Bud: I got to go on the bumper cars! And we got to hike up a mountain and we got candy. The bumper cars were so fun! Bun: We got to go on Farris wheel. It was so fun! We even got to go on a merry go round. Me and daddy did a bubble hairdo for Bud!
