I'm so excited to go to Sweden!

Rewind back to last last Sunday. We are touring Kronberg castle. We look out the window across the channel and see.... Sweden! Now I know we are already in a foreign country. We are miles from home, and have absolutely loved getting to explore this crazy country. But still the idea of getting to go to another country propelled us to make plans right then to visit Sweden. Why not? It's a 30 minute train ride from Copenhagen, and relatively cheap. And all we could say, for the rest of the time wandering around that gigantic castle, was, "I'm so excited to go to Sweden!"

With all that excitement I figured, Sweden just can't live up to what I have pictured in my head. It's a Scandinavian country, and I assume that they all look alike. But Sweden went above and beyond. It was gorgeous and just a blast to explore! We went to a little city named Malmo, found a park we wandered in for an hour, walked down the main shopping street, had the greatest espresso macchiato in the world, then went out to a fantastic dinner before heading back home. Really, the next time you are in Copenhagen, hop on a train and travel to Sweden. It is more than worth it!
