Swedish Dreams: Family Trees


I've been busy putting together family trees lately. The photo above was of my dear grandma Gerry as a kid. Wasn't she cute? I have a fascination with fashion from the 1930s and this photo would have been taken in the early to mid-1930s (she was born in 1929). Love her swimsuit!

The hubs and I are traveling to Sweden this summer to visit our family roots. His mother and father have family roots in Sweden and in the Netherlands. On my grandma's side she had family in Sweden. It will be fun to see the towns our relatives are from! Several years ago we traveled to Ireland to see my grandfather's roots. This summer it's time to see grandmas!

We booked our summer travel via Iceland Express because the prices across the pond this year are atrocious! It will be my second time in Iceland in one year, wow! When we booked this killer deal earlier this year. This time we are just doing a short layover at their airport on the way to Sweden.

Update: Iceland Express was horrible. We were told by locals that the flights are on time only 36% of the time. Both our flights were two hours late with no food or drinks offered until well after take off. Not good.
