Our journey began a little over a month ago in Florida and has finally ended here in Malmo,Sweden! We are so excited! I decided to keep you up to date via this blog and of course Skype! Our Skype account is Sawyers4Sweden. Just remember we are 6 hours ahead of Eastern time. Now on to our trip!
We began our trip in Estero, Fl where we were last stationed! The children finished up school and we were on our way!
Then on to Orlando,Fl to drop off our car for a quick overnight trip! We continued on to Gulf Shores and Mobile, Alabama where I was able to get some much needed catch up time with my girlfriend ANGIE!!
We left Jeff and Angie :( and made our way to The Promise Land (on earth anyway)...TEXAS!! We had an amazing time with all of our family and I do mean ALL. The Houston's had an amazing reunion and I think we had over 50 in attendance. Holly Lake Ranch will never be the same again!
The pictures above are of my amazing mother and myself and of course my PRECIOUS grandparents Mamie & PaPa! The only downside was that I didn't get to see Carrie or the Thoms family :(. I did however get to see two of my brothers and the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium...amazing.
Best Family photo EVER!!!!
We unfortunately left Texas but we were on the road to amazing sites! We headed to Nashville where we spent 2 days and then on to a cabin in Gatlinburg for 4 days. It was a nice quiet break from our travels!
From TN we had an amazingly easy trip to Elizabeth City,NC. Mark's parents live there and we had a blast! Brooklyn and Zach both learned to water ski and Knee board!!! Too fun! We were able to visit with Mark's sister and her three girls and the kids had a blast together!
Above is Mark out on the boat in NC. We were headed to the Fourth of July fireworks show which was great...the kids are obviously worn out from tons of fun as you can see! Here is Mark's mom aka Grammy with two of her bundles Brooklyn and her cousin.
As we left NC and our precious dog Paisley behind...only for two months. We headed to DC to take yet another step towards sweden! After four days there we were on the plane bound for our new home!
So now here we are!!! We have been here 5 days and we LOVE it! The people here are so friendly and helpful! Today we took the train to Copenhagen,Denmark and established ourselves there. Then we took in the sites. The little mermaid was currently on exhibit in SHang Hai however we still had a great time! Take a look at our new town and visit to Denmark...
Now as I get better at this things will improve. Remember this is just our first posting! I cannot wait to fill you in on all the little details we encounter! I will be taking more pictures of Sweden! I just realized all the pics I have taken are on my phone! We love you all and hope you enjoy the first installment of the Sawyer Follies!
