End of Norway ’09, Back to Wisconsin
Norway was a great trip!! I’m so happy that everyone was able to go so we could all spend time together, which happens maybe once a year. I hate saying goodbye. They’re always hard for me because I hate not knowing when (or if) I’ll see someone again. Thanks for reading and looking at the […]
Bergen, Norway

Rollag and Geilo – Heritage Day

We couldn’t go inside the church, but we wandered around outside looking at all the graves. There were about 4-5 Skogen graves there…my favorite name was Ninni Skogen. Next, we […]
