... little bubba is teething like no tomorrow. But overall he has been such a great little baby to travel with. He seems to like the van and knows that despite an initial grizzle when he sits in his car seat that its time to sleep. He is one happy camper baby! :)

To finish the day sat beside our van with our sleeping baby and supping on a 7% beer, looking out over the lake with a nice sunset, we think we heard a woodpecker high up in the pine trees. Off to give the little one a bath.

... soon and head out to Orebro and my family's hometown..... Arriving in Orebro at about 6:00 we fist went to the "mushroom" Orebro's city water tower, a place I remember well from my childhood. From there you could look out and see all of Narke. After freezing our as.... off about at about 200 ft. above ground we went in search of our hotel which we paid about $75.00 for. Arriving there we found what looked like a long 2 story diner. Entering with ...

Woke up this morning in Orebro home of my family. We ate breakfast at McDonalds (really Swedish) well at least the menu was! I never saw sandwiches on an American McDonalds menu. Was a nice change though from the buffets we have been having every morning. We took a ride to where my family home used to be only to be met with a tattoo parlor. I was going to go in and get a tat, but Bruce quickly put a sop to that. After picking a few apples off from my Farfor's ...

... is just a few minutes from where we're staying. We would start the day going to a most interesting and unexpected, for me, museum.
