What a way to spend our last regular school break at the end of May! If you are looking for something for everyone, go to Oslo. First, you can see that Glen managed to find a race course - at right you can see Eleanor and our Norwegian friend Marit at the track in Eiksmarka. Below, Robert made a 'sculpture' out of fabulous branches on the porch of Marit's house.
Well, it gets even better. Marit also has a cabin about 90 minutes Northwest of Oslo on her own island. Yes, you read that right. This island is so private you have to get to it in a rowboat. Really. Big fun for a family of suburbanites. Here is the view from the cabin.
I've done something to the picture below, so bear with me. This is the opera house in Oslo. Glen walked on the roof which is amazing for its views of the harbor. There is a lot of amazing modern architecture in Oslo.

Finally, here is a view of the harbor in Oslo near where the major museums are: the Fram (polar explorer ship, Robin's favorite), Kon-Tiki, Viking Boats, and Folk Museum. Plus, in the morning the fisherman are there selling their catches. But do be warned, while not quite as expensive as Copenhagen, Oslo is certainly up there. It was totally worth it though.
