OK life is finally slowing down and I will do a "quick" catch up and then try to do weekly posts. Our first weekend trip was to Vaxjo (Tek-Kwah) and Kosta they are in SouthEast Sweden about 3 hours away and we went by car. Got there Saturday 1/22 and went to the House of Emigrants museum , The Swedish glass museum, a cathedral (a little to new agey for me and went to Vaxjo Town Park where we walked around a frozen lake. (Colton's favorite part!!)
The next morning we got up and drove to Kosta. This region of Sweden is known as the "kingdom of crystal" there are many glass shops in this area. Kosta has one of the largest and most well known. Kosta Boda which is the oldest of the "glasbruks". We started at the new art hotel, which was beautiful, Colton played the piano and we "toured" on our own. This we headed to the glassblowing "hot shop". This was our favorite part!! We saw them actually make it. We then did some shopping and headed back home. The Picture on the left is Colton in the exhibit hall in the hot shop and the one on the right is Mike at the frozen lake. I am going to post all of the pics on facebook and the narrative on here.
