Norway was last month . . . time to finish!

Okay, so we've been back for awhile and our posts on Norway have been lacking. So, I'm going to finish things off by posting a few of my favorites from the end of the trip. Enjoy!

Looks like she owns the place . . . on our way from Oslo to Flåm via train.

We definitely recommend doing the "family area" on the trains . . . there was a place for Anja to play on both trains (one train even had a tunnel!).

We stayed in Aurland, a quiet (we were very off-peak!) and old town (notice the date on this tombstone) in the midst of fjord country.

We took a ferry from Flåm to Aurland. We had an early boat (see Anja) on the way back.

Erik has always raved about the strawberry milk in Norway (the company Tine makes it). I found out why in 2004 and Anja found out why this year. YUM! She was saying strawberry (milk) like "dub-ya" --- we quickly corrected that!

The train from Oslo to Flåm was fantastic---you started in the city then ended up in these crazy snow-covered mountain towns (Finse, Myrdal). It was an interesting sight to see people with their skis, poles and boots hopping on and off the train in the middle of Oslo.

Brit took us to the ski museum, newly opened in Trysil. This is a picture of the first ski lift from the resort in Trysil.

The evolution of skis.

This is just a part of Bjørn Dæhlie's trophy case. Wow.

Anja on the ski jump simulator.

Erik's family was fortunate enough to go to the Olympic Winter Games when they were in Lillehammer in 1994. What a beautiful place! We had lots of fun in the Olympic Park.

I love these guys!

The reason for our trip . . . a visit to Erik's folk high school (Hedmarktoppen). The view from their main building was gorgeous!

During our last night in Trysil before we took off for home, Anja was feeling a little shy so she decided it was best to hang out with Morten. Anja really took to him while we were there . . . now every once and awhile she'll say, "Tickle Morten!" She's got quite the memory!

It seemed like everyone had a station wagon in Norway, so we fit right in with our rental car.

We had a great time . . . hopefully we can get back sooner rather than later! Thanks to everyone who made the trip so enjoyable!
