Car trip Day 1!


Last Tuesday we started our long drive from Luleå down to Uddevalla. The kids had packed their bags the night before and the car was packed before we went to bed. At 6 am, after putting the kids in the car straight from bed in their pj:s, we picked up mum in the city. Zara, Finn and Lykke left at the same time with the plan to try to stick close together down to Gävle where we were all going to spend the night.
We did over 2 hours before stopping to change the kids and have breakfast. Isak puked 2 times and Jakob complaind over pain in his belly, but apart from that we had a good start.

Beautiful sunny morning along the E4.


After breakfast both kids had a sleep in the car and not long after we had lunch at the bottom of Skuleberget. Plenty of space for the kids to run around.

Jakob and Isak preferred Zaras food...

The children really wanted to climb the mountain but knowing how far we had to drive I didn't think it was a good idea. I took them up a little bit though hoping that it would be nicer for them to sit in the car with tired legs.

Zara did the drive all by herself - very impressive!

Stop number 3




In the late afternoon, after having done about 750 kilometers, we arrived at Furuvik where we spent the night in a small but cosy little cabin. The kids were amazing in the car, I have nothing to complain about!

When mum got dinner organised I took the kids for a walk around the caravan park.


And stopped at the playground...

Dinner in the sun!

Cute Isak!

Jakob and I doing one of many rounds of mini golf!

At the end of the day Jakob and Isak lost the plot a bit (being very tired I think) and ran around like crazy when mum did the dishes. We all fell asleep very quickly that night after a good first day!
