Trip to the Mother Country (*QSBL)

Ingrid, Ellie and Ava in front of the destination.
 
Oh, how fun it would be to travel to Sweden as part of the Summer Bucket List!
That isn't going to happen, though.  However, with the *Quirky Summer Bucket List, it is possible to do the next best thing without even boarding a plane!  In Chicago, there's a great Swedish restaurant called TRE KRONOR and my sister and I took our Grand-daughters there for Swedish pancakes and lingonberries.

Outdoor eating here even includes a little stuga where we could enjoy those pancakes!
(L to R:  Ellie, Linnea, Ava, Ingrid)

Following our meal we took the girls to the SWEDISH AMERICAN MUSEUM on Clark Street in Andersonville. On a summer afternoon, the third floor of the museum was empty so we had the place all to ourselves!
The girls were all outfitted into "work" pinafores - provided at the museum.

The ticket booth for the boat trip to America is on the left side.
Step right up!
 
Two examples of houses are available to play in:  here Ellie experiences life in the old house in Sweden.
Potatoes and fish?  Why, yes, don't mind if I do!
.My sis and I like to eat together in the new place in America.
The Nelson Sisters with a lot of food to eat!
 
Chores galore...cows to milk, chickens to feed, harvest to gather, laundry to hang...
The Anderson Sisters



Fun?  Ya, sure.  You betcha!
