Norway

 

















After much anticipation, we finally made it to Norway together as a family to celebrate Christina and Cornelius’s wedding and absorb the Norwegian culture.  We stayed at an Airbnb which was close to everyone in Stavanger.  The wedding was an emotional highlight; and it was an honor to officiate.  Sightseeing included a beautiful cruise up Lysefjord, a foggy hike up to pulpit rock, and strolling through Stavanger.  On our last day, we drove to the ancestral farm at Vasshus for a family history lesson from cousin Ingvar. Then it was a quick trip to the Vigerstead farm for more family history.  It was a real treat to share so much time with our Norwegian loved ones.  A big thanks to Peter, Tjellaug and family for graciously hosting us.
