V-tuna.

We arrived in Vallentuna about 15.00 yesterday. We made the trip in 5 hours, including a 30 minute lunch stop! Probably the fastest we have ever made the trip!

Leia slept about 1½ hour of the trip so that was nice. She wasn't too unhappy about being in the car so much. :)

Today we got ready and went to a shopping center and had lunch at Pizza Hut! :) Leia had her first American pizza. :)) She had the crust. :) Then we went to a mall that neither Fredrik or I have been to before. Leia was.. unhappy most of the time. :/ She was tired and wouldn't even think about closing her eyes. So that wasn't too much fun. She screamed a lot. In the beginning, I think she would have fallen asleep, but we went in a baby store, and there was another child screaming in its stroller, and that started Leia to screaming.. :/ So we went in and out of stores quickly, because it isn't fun with a screaming child. Even worse I think because she was just unhappy because she was tired, and she wouldn't relax enough to fall asleep.

She finally did relax, not too long before we were going to leave to go home..... But we did go into the enormous grocery store, and they had some American products that we can't buy anywhere near us: Mountain Dew, Vanilla Coke, Pop tarts(!!!), Hershey's syrup, and a few other items. :) (We bought the things that I listed.) :) Mmm.. :) Pop tarts. :) They also had Mac + cheese, salad dressing, some soups, jello boxes, cookie/cake mixes, root beer, Cherry Coke, Cherry Mountain Dew, Cream Soda. It was.. heaven.. :D Everything was expensive, with import taxes and all that, but it is fun to have a few things from home. :) (Besides the things Mormor + Morfar send us.) :)

When we got in the car, Leia passed out.. :D She snored even. Then we went to another shopping area quickly. Fredrik ran in one store and got something. Then we went to a baby store, and I ran in and got some things: more of Leia's favorite pacifiers, diaper-pail refills, etc.. etc..

But we did manage to buy some things we wanted to get. A few baby things I really wanted to send Carie. Some thick socks for Leia. A Christmas present for Leia. Some candles, rechargeable battery-pack, etc..

Tomorrow, Fredrik and I will have our hockey game! And after that we will go to dinner at Friday's. After that we *might* meet up with one of Fredrik's old computer-nerd friends. :) Just depends on time and all that. On Sunday, Fredrik's great-aunt Gittan is going to come visit us. And maybe her son, Uffe, will come along, too!

So I'll try to post more pictures as the days go on! :)
