Holiday

With only one week of paid leave left this year (Lorienne is still on maternity leave) we decided to spend it wisely and travelled down to Laholm to visit my brother and his family. We haven't seen them in 5 years!
Anyway, we packed my newly aquired Land Rover Defender 130 and drove down the 1000km in a two day trip, spending the night in Sala with Henrik and Rhiannon's two other cousins Tyr and Liv. We arrived in Laholm late afternoon the next day.
Although we had a lovely stay I truly believe Henrik had the best holiday out of all of us. He really spent every possible second trying to keep up with his older cousins and slept late in the mornings which otherwise never happens.
Here is an assortment of photos from our trip.

The Landy is great, you can even attach your baby to the back of it.

We pulled off the road and found a lake with a sandy beach on our way home. The water was luke warm. We decided to camp there and couldn't have found a more suitable place. Since it wasn't official it was also free.
I could do this more often, but I'd like a roof top tent.
