Wednsday

As usual, Norway is awesome.  Thats the way its always been.  Even the one year that it rained everyday , I can still remember having the best time.  That is when the fishing is the best anyways ;)  This year however, has been sunny almost everyday and the past few days have been so full I have hardly had time to sleep.  
Saturday we left the hut for the Solstrand Hotel to celebrate my grandparents aniversery.  I cant even find the words to descibe how amazing this place was.  Over all the hotels I have stayed at this is deffinatley the best one and I would highly recommend even visiting if you're ever in Norway.  The view, rooms, food, pool, and location were just unreal.  And on top of staying at the Solstrand, I had all my Norwegian cousins, aunts and uncles, and of course my grandarents.  That makes for a p-r-e-t-t-y cool weekend.  I'll post some pictures but keep in mind you can't experience the entierty of the place unless you go.
Monday I went on a trip with my mum and bestefare to find a backpack.  We stopped by three or four stores before we came to the Norwegian version of Dicks Sporting Goods, XXL.  We got some help from one of the employees and found a great pack.  The guy helping us had used a similar one in his training for the millitary and said it lasted him the whole year.  That sounds pretty good considering he ran with 55lbs. everyday during his training.  There was no problem desiding on this pack.  Thank you so much to my bestefare for the not only the pack but also finding finding the best one for this year!
Tuesday we borrowed my cousin Jorgen's boat and went out to the "big blue" as my little brother quoted from Nemo.  It only took us about a hour, not too long at all.  And after passing the last little island there was nothing but water.  There was a cool breeze and huge rollers but thankfully there was a clear blue sky that warmed us up enough to stay.  We ate some lunch and dropped a line.  The fishing was alright, a few fish here and there, nothing compared to our favorite spot though.  Ohh but thats a secrect, only people who come and visit get to know ;)  And speaking of that spot, we caught a 18 pounder the other day!
And now we are at today, Wednsday.
