Our Trip to Scandinavia and World Tourism Day

I just returned from a trip to Scandinavia with my son and his wife. Since it is World Tourism Day today (September 27th) I thought I’d make a post related to our trip. I already made five posts about our trip on my new blog Super-Factful so what I am going to do is just link to those five posts. See below.
