Gloucester, Goteborg, Copenhagen and Hamburg

I started off my journey to visit my wonderful friend, Linnea and her parents in Gloucester, England. I loved how all of the quaint homes were made of brick, and the people were so cheery! This is an old sail boat we found.
When we went into the city we could see this cathedral standing above everything else. Turns out, this is where parts of Harry Potter was filmed. I recognized the long hallways!
The next day we went to the coast for some fish and chips. I had to take a picture of Linnea getting in the other side of the car and then driving on the other side of the road. We were comparing how differently we grew up. It's amazing how God can bring people together, no matter where in the world you are. I have been blessed with wonderful friendships! Then on to Sweden to pick up my new Volvo. I drove it right out the factory doors. Eddie and I flew to Goteborg where the Volvo factory was located and then drove back to Germany. I couldn't have found a better fit!Volvo sent us on a tour of the safety exhibit. Eddie found out how big a babies head is, that helmet was heavy! I found out how well he is at multi-tasking while driving and braking for Moose. What a stud!

On our way back we stopped in Copenhagen, Denmark. We took a tour of the city and found some live music. This is the statue of the Little Mermaid. Copenhagen is where Hans Christian Anderson is from.On our way through Sweden and Denmark, we had to take a couple of long bridges over the ocean and even a long tunnel under the water! The weather was beautiful and the water was so inviting. This was one of the many harbors in Copenhagen.Once we hit Germany we rested in Hamburg and went to the Tier Park. This family sat down next to me! I'll have to ask Holly what the name of these creatures are. They let me pet them and then climbed up the wall.Eddie's favorite was the hippie donkey. What is he sharing...oops, maybe I shouldn't have posted this!This one is for Holly, we found a baby elephant! So cute! We were sad to see our journey end, and now it's back to work. Luckily we have decided to live our lives to the fullest every day, no matter where we are or what we are doing! Hope your day is just as wonderful! Lots of Love!
