My Norway Favorites

Going back to Norway is definitely going to happen at some point.  I absolutely LOVE it there. I visited Oslo, Bergen and Halden (the town my great grandparents were from). Got to meet family I hadn't met and see family that I hadn't seen in years. I learned some more Norwegian. I was blessed enough to have unusually beautiful weather. I learned the Norwegian birthday song as my family sang around the table with the most epic candle EVER on the cake! I walked where my great grandparents walked and my grandfather during his visits, and stood where my great grandmother was born (literally the corner her mother gave birth to all 11 children). I even got some of my great grandfather's stuff to take home from his brother's great grandson! All in all, it was a phenomenal trip.  Here are some of my favorite photos!
