Last day.

Our 3 weeks have gone by sooo quickly, but the 3 of us have enjoyed our stay. We hope that Mormor and Morfar have enjoyed having us, and I'm sure they have. :)

On Sunday, my sister, Melissa, and her boyfriend, Dustin, came for a visit. They brought with them Amanda, my niece, and her 2 daughters, Hailey and Savannah. We had a very nice day talking and laughing with all of them. :)

Then on Monday morning, Fredrik and I left for Niagara Falls, Canada. We drove through, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York before making our way into Canada, a very short 4 hour drive. Our room was gorgeous! We could see the falls from our full wall of windows, and when we opened our balcony door, the sound of the falls was music to our ears. We were only about a 50 feet walk to the falls.





Fredrik and I did all of the touristy things. :) We rode the Maid of the Mist and walked behind the falls. We had a delicious dinner and then took a walk at night along the Falls and looked at the beautiful lights. So, of course I have many, many pictures to share. :) But I will add those when we get home. I'm sure Leia and I will have many nights to come sitting up late and trying to get us all back on the right sleeping schedule. The trip back to Europe is always worse with jet lag.. :/

On Wednesday we were going to take the day and go to Cedar Point, but we decided that since none of us were really interested in riding the rides, the high entrance fee seemed a little much. So we decided to go to the Toledo Zoo instead. :) It was very nice and had many great animals. It was very, very warm and humid that day. So the animals were mostly laying around in the shade and trying to stay cool. :) Pretty much the same thing we were doing. :)))

Then today, we took it easy. Fredrik, Leia and I took a last shopping trip to buy a few things we needed. We had some lunch and then we took Leia to the beach. :) We went to Lakeview Beach in Lorain.





She loved the sand. She was a little afraid of the water at first, but then she got more into it and stood in the water with Mommy a little. :) We realized it was her first beach.

Mormor and Morfar took us to dinner tonight. It is always difficult to say goodbye, so it is usually best to do it quickly. We'll get up early and leave for the airport around 08.30, and our flight leaves around 11.00. A short flight to New York/New Jersey and then a 4 hour layover in Newark. Then our flight to Stockholm and we'll arrive in Sthlm early Saturday morning.

Almost everything is packed. And I think we are ready to go. Vacations are always nice, but it is always nice to go home. We are hoping to be well rested enough to drive home on Saturday instead of waiting until Sunday. So that we can have 2 days at home before Fredrik goes back to work (he took monday off).

But I suppose that is all until we arrive in Sweden. :) Many pictures to come from our trip. So be patient and I'll try to get them uploaded in organized postings!

Wish us a safe trip!
