I have just posted a trip report on the day that we spent in Stockholm, Sweden while on a Baltic cruise in the summer of 2009. We had only one day to explore the city so we had to make some hard decisions about what we could see in such a short period of time. What we discovered is that Stockholm is a strikingly beautiful capital city that warrants a much longer visit to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer.

Copenhagen, Denmark
I have posted a trip report about the time that we spent in Copenhagen, Denmark during our 2009 summer vacation. We spent three days in the city prior to leaving on a 10 day Baltic cruise and one day post-cruise. Copenhagen is a vibrant capital city that provided a wonderful introduction to Europe for my children. The central part of Copenhagen is compact and easy to navigate on foot and there is a wide range of activities available to suit any family from palaces to amusement parks to canal cruises.

Two Weeks in Provence
I've posted a trip report about our holiday in the south of France last summer. We rented a villa in Gordes and spent two weeks exploring the region. We wandered picture-perfect French villages, had a history lesson as we explored Roman ruins, ate the most amazing food al fresco, shopped for the perfect mementos and soaked up the French language. At the end of our vacation I was envying Peter Mayle, who wrote A Year in Provence, because two weeks was definitely not enough.
