snow brings new visitors

guess who came to visit us in alesund?

after 27 hours of travel nana and papa joined the norwegian adventure. since it was 2 am back in california it seemed like a perfect time to get bundled up for a quiet walk around the city--and by quiet i mean absolutely still. everything shuts down for the holiday and it seemed as if we were walking through a painting of a quiet seaside village. a few boats made their way through the water and, of course the fish and chips stand was open. which was a good thing because shortly after we unbundled the wind gave way to hail which gave way to gorgeous snow flurries which made us all very hungry.

a few orders of jaf's fish and chips later we're back at the hotel, nana and papa napping, owen still running in circles giddy with excitement that we're all here--mommy, daddy, nana and papa. that, and waffles are on in an hour and a half.
