Arrived in Tucson late last night from our 2019 Spring trip to Sweden. Spending lots of time with our three beautiful granddaughters never get old. Scout is now 6 and speaks both Swedish and English well. She at times acted as our interpreter, the Swedish adults enjoyed seeing a little girl do that for her grandparents!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We took a 2 day side trip to the Swedish island of Gotland. Visby’s old town is definitely old Europe ! Cobblestone streets, quaint shops, charming restaurants, and great pubs with delightful beer! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The trip is a three hour ferry trip out of Nynäshamn. The cost is very reasonable, as Jesper told me the ferry’s are part of the highway system, thus the government keeps the cost down.</div>

This trip we’re finding out about the beginning of the midnight sun, we’re not quite there yet, but by 4:30am it’s pretty bright out! Abby and I got out last week to Skansen, the Stockholm natural history park and zoo. We’ve been there often , always planning to have dinner, and of course we have Swedish meat balls, mashed potatoes, and lingonberries, which is always a must when we come here!<br />
<br />
Now for some more photos!<br />

The last day & night is upon us, we’ll be heading back to Arizona via Newark, Houston, and then Tucson, Becca, Scout, & Ru will be leaving a few hours after we leave. Our flight is at 9 AM, we land at 8PM or so. That will make it a 18 hour day, but our own beds will be waiting for us!<br />
<br />
Grandparents can appreciate seeing your Grandkids after not seeing them for a while, hopefully the next time will be sooner than later!<br />

Wednesday marks the first day of our last week! We start our day by going in different directions. Becca wanted to have some girl time with Scout so they got up and went to breakfast. Scout told me she had a pancake with chocolate drizzle on it. Becca had a breakfast BLT.<br />
<br />
Ru slept in until 9am this morning, which was late for her. I went in to get her, which was a surprise to her, she hasn’t totally warmed up to me, but it’s getting better.<br />
<br />
At that point I decided to take a stretch of the legs around Dublin. The hustle and bustle of the city is interesting. Pedestrians, Bikes, Cars, Buses, Motorcycles, Trains, move the people around the city! All of this go through the small Burroughs that make up this city. To name a few, Ballsbridge, Ranelagh, Rathmine, Donnybrook, etc. All types of shops show up in all of these Burroughs, markets , bakeries, hair dressers, pharmaceuticals, pubs, realators, restaurants, banks, etc. All of these Burroughs will offer these businesses.<br />
<br />
Between these Burroughs you find housing, row houses, single family homes, apartments, etc. The architecture of these dwellings go back centuries, to modern. The neighborhood churches are beautiful! You find a variety of denominations!<br />
<br />
City center brings you the major commerce area, and the Christmas season has started!<br />

The trouble with trips abroad is that they have to end sometime! With only 9 days left for us, this trip for other loved ones has ended, Jesper and Bunny left today returning to Sweden. This is the way it is when we travel to Europe. We loved our time we had with both of them!<br />
<br />
Our last 9 days will be with Scout & Ru! The good thing about this is Scout is old enough to assist us with our Ru. Also Scout for being 6 years old is very smart! We can actually have an intelligent discussion with her. This is a real pleasure for us!<br />
<br />
Scout has also been to Dublin enough that she actually knows her way around. The other day we went to Airfield Museum, and from the rail station she guided us right to the ticket office! She also guided us inside the grounds. It was wonderful!<br />
<br />
Today we met up with Becca, Jesper, & Ru. Once they took off to the airport, Scout guided us to Becca’s office, then to a playground, then to Becca’s 2nd office! Very impressive for a 6 year old!<br />

A dip in temperatures, some light rain is going to be a issue the next few days! However we’ll manage.<br />
<br />
Our daily schedule is walking to the parks near us, there is a few good ones close by! Ru falls asleep and Bunny gets to play! We found out today that Bunny wants other kids to play with so we didn’t stay long.<br />
<br />
Food here is more than meat & potatoes, like most major cities there is a big variety to chose. Tonight we’re looking at Thai. We went to the market the other day and I got a Pastie, just like in the UP of Michigan!<br />

Me without a laptop, my iPhone is my only means of posting my blog, hopefully this style of text first and photos last will work !<br />
<br />
Our first week away from our home is complete! This week was mostly a getting reacquainted week with the two grandkids that are here with us. Of course Bunny has warmed up to us quickly, but Ru is only a few weeks past being one, so with Abby it’s been no problems, however today was the first day she warmed up to me! Go figure! In all fairness she has had a touch of a fever and cold. Now Abby has a cold so we’re playing it low keyed!<br />
<br />
Last night Abby & I did go out for some traditional Irish food and Celtic music & dancing! It was all great fun! We stayed out to 11pm! We’re turning wild!<br />

Early Sunday morning we arrived in Dublin and headed to Becca’s work to drop off our luggage, our check in time was not going until 3PM.<br />
<br />
After a bite to eat, we headed out to be part of Dublin waking up! Before you new thousands of people people were out and about, holiday shopping has started!<br />
<br />
Becca, Bunny, & Ru got in about 6:30PM and it was great to see them, it’s been a long time! Scout and Jesper will be here on the 22nd as Scout is in school now!<br />

Our last full day with Scout was a trip to the San Francisco Zoo! We have always enjoyed Zoo's, when raising our own children and now with our grand children. This Zoo was really a nice one. Located in western San Francisco, near the ocean, we enjoyed a beautiful day, which at times a jacket was needed to stay warm. Train rides, a carousel, good fast food, and lots of exhibits, we enjoyed all! We ended our day at the Zoo with a carousel ride for Scout. She named her horse "Lucky Luke"! Scout and Gump enjoyed the ride very much!<br />

From the Zoo we made our way back over the Golden Gate Bridge, traffic was terrible, but we were heading to the Bay Area Discovery Museum, a kids museum. If you're ever out this way with young kids, this is a fun place to take them. Scout enjoyed a dish of ice cream(so did Gump & Gamma), with the Golden Gate in the back ground.<br />

We'll be heading home this Friday, via Las Vegas. Jesper and Scout headed back to Sweden yesterday, while Becca had to stay to attend workshop's. So during the day we are taking care of Bunny. Yesterday we took the ferry over to San Francisco in the afternoon and met Becca for supper on the famed Fisherman's Wharf. Today takes the three of us for a day trip to Sausalito. Strolling and light shopping is the plan, along with a lunch on the water front. Wednesday we'll meet Becca up in Napa. We'll start the packing on Thursday, with maybe one more trip to the wharf. Friday we drop Becca and Bunny at the Oakland Airport before heading South. A good time was had by all.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Time flies when you're having fun, it's Thursday July 7th, 2016! Today we're kind of "taking the day off", as no travel or touring events are on our schedule. We move to Mill Valley in two days, to another Air BnB rental. Not really looking forward to the move, but am looking forward to the new adventure!<br />

Last week we ventured out for a day trip to Muir Woods National Monument. We've been there before but wanted to go back to see the Redwoods. Abby, Scout, Bunny, and I were on our own! Becca & Jesper went into the city so we dropped them off early at the ferry. We had looked up on the net regarding Muir Woods and they advised early arrival as parking was limited. So an early start it was for us, but it didn't matter, as we drove South on the 101, signs flashed that Muir Woods parking was full! We arrive and I drop the girls off at the front gate and I find a spot to park off of the road about a mile away. Oh well, I need the exercise! We walked to the end of the path, all the girls handed it well, stop back at the park store to have hotdogs for lunch. Nothing is cheap in California!<br />

Last Sunday, Abby and I took some time for ourselves, driving up to Wine country. We found a tour online for the Benziger Family Winery. A tour on a tram, wine tasting, and about 3 hours later we're hitting the road heading North through Sonoma County. The number of vineyards are amazing! We conclude the day by driving over to California Hwy 1. Wish I had my motorcycle out here for that road! Lots of twists and turns!<br />

The fourth of July is next and more time for Abby & John. Off we go to a Giants game at A,T, &T park. Our day begins by catching the ferry in Larkspur, which in turn takes us right to McCovey Bay at the stadium! What a beautiful field to watch a game at! I've been to about a 1/2 dozen stadiums, and by far this park is placed in the most beautiful setting as you'll see! Oh, for the views of the bay, ships, yachts, sailboats, and kayaks, all out enjoying the water! The park itself is a beautiful place to watch baseball!<br />

A day trip to the pool with Scout is enjoyable. Water temp is 81, air temp around 77, a sunny day just North of the Bay. We talk with a lady from San Francisco and she tells us she and her family came North for the day just to get some Sun! There seems to always be an overcast near the ocean.<br />
<br />
Yesterday Abby, Scout, and me head North on CA 1, we spotted some seafood restaurants that we wanted to check out. We end up going to Nick's Cove. The setting was beautiful! The food was good, but not as good as anticipated.<br />

Jet lagged basically over, sleep schedules close to being back to normal, allows a trip to the beach. Jesper having grown up near the sea, seeks the sea for relaxation.<br />
<br />
It's chilly when we first get there, but warms up quickly. It's low tide so some exploration takes place by all. Crabs are seen, and beach discovery is taken in. A pleasant experience and relaxation unfolds.<br />

Our adventure is off to San Francisco this summer to meet up with Becca, Jesper, Scout, & Bunny! However, a lot has happen to us prior to our trip. January 18th, 2016 was my last day at work and on January 19th, 2016 I went through hip replacement. All is well with me now, after a short time of disability, then vacation run off, my official company event date for retirement was May 17th, 2016! Hooray for retirement!<br />

Three months after my surgery, to the date, Abby went in for a total knee replacement. I have to say the knee recovery seemed a little more involved than the hip replacement. She went through PT and is now moving very well!<br />
<br />
All patched up, and ready to roll, we head west on June 18th, 2016. A three day road trip of about 600 miles per day we arrive at our destination in San Geronimo, CA at our Air BnB rental. This is a nice country side home, three bedroom, two & a half bath home. We have seen deer in the back yard, wild turkey's in the fields to this home, surrounded by lovely pine trees.<br />
<br />
We arrived two days prior to Becca's family getting here. On Wednesday, the 22nd of June we drive to San Francisco International to pick up our family. We parked in the short term parking, walk into the terminal, check the board, and we find no flight coming into San Fran this day. Abby rechecks the itinerary sent from Becca, and low and behold, they're flying into Oakland-San Francisco International, so a 40 mile more drive, through terrible rush hour traffic, we arrive in Oakland to pick up our family.<br />
<br />
Flight on time, our family arrives, we load up their luggage and head to our home... more to follow..<br />

Our goodbyes are never easy! Us living in the USA, Becca, Jesper, Scout, & Bunny living in Europe! Having to get up early to leave on the morning flight is real hard! Becca and Bunny are up but not Scout. Becca tells us later when she wakes, she's puzzled as to wear Gump and Grabby are. This will never get easier, but we cherish the time we do get.<br />

Saturday brings unpacking and hopefully a chance at a little rest. Matthew from Mayfield Colony calls and tells Abby he has some pickles available. Well, you have to make hay when the sun shines, the same goes for pickles. So off to the colony for some pickles and dill. Back home get the jars and canning supplies out and here we go. Now just to set the record straight, Abby did probably 95% of the work, but I did pitch in to help. 55 quarts later and the job is done. Looks like a great batch!<br />

No rest for John, four work days, then taking off on Friday to the 75th Sturgis Bike Rally. Riding out this year is Donny Meyer, Kevin Dunn and myself. Destination is Hot Springs, SD to our friend Joe Cronen's lake Cabin. Our route is Watertown to Highmore, South to Winner, SD, West to Hot Springs. This takes us over roads never seen by our bikes. It also takes us through the heart of one of the largest Indian Reservations in South Dakota, Rose Bud! 458 miles later we arrive in Hot Springs. The roads were great! The traffic was light! The weather was hot and dry! Just a perfect day for riding.<br />
<br />
I had received a message a while back that Marlene & Ken French, friends from Marlette telling me they're heading out to the Rally. So we meet up with them on Sunday, have a little breakfast, take a nice ride through the hills to Sturgis. We show them some of the sights and enjoy each others company. It's sure nice to have friends like Marlene & Ken!<br />

Abby and I during pickling take a break to take a ride on Beth's horses. Beth is Diane Chenoweth's sister up for the summer from Virginia. We did this so Scout could see that she is not the only horse rider in the family, lol.<br />

The busy month of July ends for us, spilling over slightly into August. Abby takes off this Sunday for LasVegas. She won a trip for two to play on the Millionaire Game show. Lucky her, cross your fingers, maybe she'll win a Million.<br />

Since my last post it seems like we've been just on the go! We don't have a personal vehicle so we rely mostly on public transportation. Becca has been a great source of information on how to get around but we do run into some challenging moments!<br />
<br />
Since Helsinki we've made trips to Skansen & Mariefred. We've traveled by subway, rail, ferry, steam train, & steam boat!<br />

Going to Skansen has been one of our favorite activities with Scout & Becca. Becca couldn't make this time, so a return trip will be made this coming week. Skansen shows us Sweden life of yesteryear and shares the animals of Sweden. Of course there is also a cafe we like getting our favorite Swedish dish, meatballs & potatoes, with lingonberry on the side.<br />
<br />
Speaking of food takes us to a two day event at Mariefred, the Nordic Food Truck festival was held Friday & Saturday!<br />

This small town is west of Stockholm, about an hour by train or car. We took a Steamboat, which took us about 3 hours. This particular boat has been steaming for over a 100 years now. Of course there is food to be bought on board and they also have a dining room that the serve noon lunch and evening dinner.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mariefred, a small village with a population of 3750, has started the street vender festival last year. I think there was around 23 venders serving all types of food from wraps, grilled burgers, with all types of different flavors from Cuban, Jamaican, to local taste. This festival probably doubled the size of this little village to maybe triple. All was having a blast and the venders truly looked exhausted by the end of the day.<br />

So, steam boating out to Mariefred, to Steam Training for maybe 5 km, to the over country rail that probably runs at 100-120 km/hour. All we had to do is sit back and relax...<br />

Finland in 2 nights and 6 hours. Yes, you heard that correct. This is the ship we traveled on to Helsinki, leaving on Sunday and overnighting for a mid morning arrival, for a 6 hour stay in Helsinki, Finland. As per custom for Abby and John, we get on a Hop On-Hop off city tour bus to view this city. Complete trip is 1 1/2 hours and we get a quick overview and insight to the highlights of Helsinki. Population of Helsinki is just over 500,000, which equal 1/10 of the countries population. The adjoining metro area makes up to 1/5 of the countries population. So we're seeing a large chunk of Finland.<br />

One of the first things we notice, is that Helsinki is a very clean city! Which we have not always found in Europe. Another great thing about these side trips we take with Becca & Jesper are they always take us off the beaten path to find places to eat. Helsinki was no different, I can't remember the name of the place but we had Finnish meatballs and mashed potatoes. Surprisingly, they were similar to the Swedish version.<br />
<br />
Tourism in Europe is big! Asians are a large bit of the tourist you run into. As the rest of us who are traveling, they're having a blast and are very friendly.<br />
<br />
Open air markets are also very big in Europe. Communication in Finland was a little bit harder, but with a credit card available, instant communication takes place.<br />

Sometimes on trips things come up that you just can't pass up. Paul McCartney just happened to be in Stockholm at the same time we are. The arena he played in just happened to be no more that 15 minute walk from us. There were seats available, at a good price, up in the nose bleed section, but with jumbotron's, the seats were great! Now, I'm not a music critic by any means, but over all the concert was good in my book(concerts to me are either good or bad). The Beatle's stuff was good, his new music was not real recognizable to me, but it looked like Sir Paul was having fun performing it.<br />

Daily routine's for us is getting up, not at the crack of dawn, because in all reality at this time of year in Stockholm it doesn't get totally dark. Morning hugs are ever so special and now they're double the pleasure with Scout & Bunny!<br />
<br />
After all has had breakfast's have been served, off to the park we go. Scout loves going to the park and if there are other kids she warms right up with them to play. This is good stuff to see from Gramps prospective!<br />
<br />
The most important part of our trips of course is the family time we get. The moments in the parks, the walks, the sit down dinners. Walking the neighborhoods, finding new parks to play, new routes to walk, small shopping areas to explore. Old world remains old, neighborhoods still have small shops. For instance, from where we are staying now, within a 1/2 mile walk we have at least two bakery's, two markets, and numerous restaurants. Near hear are thai, sushi, pizza, and more.<br />
<br />
Side trips to come, a ferry trip to Helsinki, a steam boat trip to a small village in the Stockholm Archipelago...<br />

Great trips for us usually start with a toast, skoal, to all of our friends we'll miss for a few weeks, skoal, to our family we're going to visit and to the new friends we'll meet in the next three weeks.<br />

July 3rd, 2015 is our start to our 3 week visit to Becca, Jesper, Scout, and our newest family addition Bunny. Bunny was born 7 weeks ago, May 16th, 2015 is Bunny's birthday and what a great addition to our family.<br />

Our trip starts at MSP and we fly to Amsterdam on our first leg. Sitting in the middle two seats of the inside four is not my idea of ideal flying, but it gets us to where we're going. Take off time was 3:15pm our time, and we arrived around 7am, no sleep for me, Abby was able to catch some nap time, but needed more at Amsterdam Airport.<br />
<br />
A 3 hour lay over and off to Stockholm we are in the air again, in this 2 hour flight I'm able to get some shut eye!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A week ago tomorrow, Abby & I started our quick trip to Michigan & back. After work our first leg was to Albert Lea, MN, driving through rain & darkness, we arrive late at the Comfort Inn. After a good breakfast the next leg takes us to J&P Cycle in Anamosa, IA, LeClaire, IA, and ending in South Bend, IN. All of a 500+ miles that day.</span><br />

Abby & I love to watch his show "American Pickers" and was all pumped to stop by the store. I was a little disappointed with the size of the shop. With all the stuff they seem to pick on the TV show, I was expecting a bigger shop full of stuff. Not so, more a tourist attraction, if you know what I mean.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Our morning started with breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe, with Brenda Wilson our host.

The 2014 Sturgis Ride is history for me and my friends, Donny Meyer, Ron & Linda Bublitz. We left at 6 AM on Friday August 1st, 2014. This was only 9 hours after Abby got home from her stay in Sweden. We got to visit only for about 1 hour that night.<br />
<br />
The morning was a chilly morning of 55*F so the first leg of our trip to Redfield, SD, we drove through fog in low wet areas. Coffee was in order, and some of my fellow riders elected to add more layers. By the time we reached Pierre it was warming up and the layers added in Redfield were coming off. The day ended up being very warm.<br />

From Pierre this year a different route than the normal Hwy. 34 route was in store. We all wanted to ride a little South and go through the Badlands of SD. The fee to get into the Badlands is controlled by the Federal government, and was $10.00 for motorcycles, and this was good for 10 days. The time we spent that day was long enough as the heat was very intense, pushing 90 degrees plus.<br />
<br />
This trip is number four for the group I ride with. The first day we go into Sturgis and check it out. Everyone looks older, as we do, but happy! People are easy to talk to. The food smells the same. The bands are loud. The traffic gets heavy. Lots of people here to have fun. Lots of people here to make money. If you like motorcycling, and what goes with it, this event is a must.<br />

The Sturgis rally is not confined to the town of Sturgis, it's about the Black Hills, the little towns that make up this beautiful region of South Dakota. It also includes Wyoming directly. Devils Tower, Hulett, Aladdin, the town you can buy for a cool $1.5 million(firm). The all open up their arms to you! They all want a piece of the action. There's music, beer, fellowship, tourism, and lots of it.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The bikes are beautiful, they come in all styles, sizes, color's, brands. Mostly Harley, but there is also Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, etc. There's bikes right off the floor and ready to ride. There's custom's that many hours of labor and love made them possible.<div>

This trip ended up being 1400 miles this year. Over all it was a good trip and we're looking forward to next year which will the the 75th Annual Sturgis Rally. Remember ride safe, protective gear is a must, wear a helmet.<br /></div>

Three girls in my life, Abby for 35 years, Becca for 34, and now Scout for almost 2 years. They're quite the 3-sum! A man could only wish for a 3-sum like this and I'm proud to say that they're in my life! Since Scout was born it's been traveling over the "pond" for visits. Twice now in Sweden and twice in Berlin. I could name some of the sights and locations we've taken in, but none of them are bigger than just spending time with this 3-sum.<br />

The time we spend together is great, but definitely not long enough, yet! For me this trip is over, I've come back to South Dakota and will go back to work tomorrow. The memories are stuck in my mind, and will be hard to get out of my head. I'll be plotting out in my head the next trip we'll be taking over the pond..counting the days...dreaming...<br />

This past Friday we were invited to a BBQ at Becca's neighbor Maria's MorMor's(Grandmother) home, hosted by Maria's mother Ina. She did a marvelous job on the grille, cooking vegetables and the meat in a timely manner. Like at home we had way too much food but it was delicious!<br />
<br />
Of course in the typical BBQ fashion beer & wine was aplenty. Abby & I are at a great disadvantage that we do not speak Swedish, but everyone there was pleasant enough to speak English most of the time.<br />

Saturday, Grabby & Grandpapa took Scout to Utö, a island of the Stockholm Archipelago. My sailor friends would love this area! Unbelievable, the number of yacht's and large sailboats in this area.<br />
<br />
Sunday is a relaxation day, there was also a threat of rain in the forecast, which we never got. Grabby, Scout, & Grandpapa went for morning walk in the "little forest" nearby and are now heading for the beach for an afternoon dip.<br />
