Sweden and Finland here we come!

 

I am really giddy right now because tomorrow, we start our summer vacation to Sweden and Finland! Ahh! I just finished wrapping up our itinerary, printing out all our reservations for this and that, and printing out the packing list on an excel sheet.

We decided it was time to hit up a new place for a family vacation, and once we found out about the great bouldering in Aland, we knew this is where we wanted to go. But first, Stockholm for the weekend! Stockholm is just amazing sounding from all the research we've done. We're planning on checking out/packing in as much as we can on Friday and Saturday before we take a ferry to Finland (more specifically, the Aland islands). We've rented an apartment in Stockholm and then a cabin right on a fjord on one of the 6500 islands of Aland through Airbnb. I honestly can't sit still today I'm getting so excited. We're just hoping the weather will improve. Right now, looks like pretty chilly temps and some rain! But we'll see. 

Have any of you been to Stockholm or Aland? Any places you ate or shopped or visited that are a must see? We'd love to hear about them before we go to make sure we check them out. Right now I have a pretty busy itinerary for Stockholm, but we're pretty open ended for our trip to Aland. I'll try to post some about our trip as we travel around and see the sights, so long as we have some wifi available. Until then...
