Surviving a dark, cold, Swedish winter

One Swedish local explained to us that January is the most depressing month there. It’s dark, cold and no one has money because of the recent Christmas holidays.

While on our way to Europe, we had a short layover in Washington, DC. So we went sight-seeing! It was a cool January day, but very sunny. “1600 Pennsylvania Ave,” willie barked to the cab driver and we were on our way to the White House!

Battleship Memorial Park & Gulfport Beach

While heading east to Florida we stopped to take a stretch on the beautiful beach of Gulfport, Mississippi. This is the closest beach to New Orleans, so as you can imagine, it’s very popular. We then headed a little further to Mobile, Alabama, where Willie got to walk around…
