Euro trip

Cousins Ty and Clay spending time in Scandinavia



We took a cruise ship overnight from Oslo, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark. The duty free shopping on the ship was insane! The locals buy everything. Norway is very expensive.

Old Church in Copenhagen



Sarah and her friends Sofie and Morten in Copenhagen



In front of the Queen's palace. The first queen to rule in Denmark.



flowers in the shape of Europe. Can you see it?






Many of the houses in the small town we visited had these traditional straw roofs.

Friends of the couple we stayed with took the boys off for fishing, horseback riding and adventure.













Our lovely host Cathy with my parents. They were high school classmates.

We took a 4 1/2 hour ferry ride to an island in the Yasawas, Fiji. Well worth it!





See what I mean?!










This smaller boat picked us up from the ferry to take us to our little island paradise!
