Norway in a Nutshell

We went on a 48-hour psycho trip to Norway. We left at 3 a.m. and returned at about 3 a.m. two days later. We flew into Oslo (kind of) spent a few hours there then took a beautiful train west through mountains and tundra-like landscapes to the fjords. We were joined by our good friend Kerry... and a friend of hers from Korea. By the end of the trip... after long train rides and lots of "If" questions (e.g. If you had to spend the rest of your life in prison with one person... who would it be?)... we all felt like best friends.

The girls and a traditionally dressed Norwegian lady at an open-air museum in Oslo.
A wooden stave church.
Zack's new buddy!
The girls outside of a wooden house... from the 1700s.

Z Man on the ferry ride to the Norsk Museum in Oslo.

Josh and girls outside the Flam railway... an hour long train ride that descends to the bottom of the fjords and makes several hairpin turns through tunnels and lots of waterfall views. Makenna was looking for all the "vampirates" in the tunnels :)

All of us and Kerry in front of Kjosfossen Waterfall.

The girls at the park in front of our hotel... this was taken at about 11 p.m. Gotta love the midnight sun!
