Spain – Barcelona
So much espresso
I cannot get over the streets here
It was green, in February!
Caleb is a model
Although it was cloudy – and kind of pollution filled – we enjoyed the view
Katie and I had to get some artsy pics
Pinchos!
My selection
Tyler’s
Spencer’s
Caleb’s
I really like this jeep
People were painting all over the city
These were the best churros I’ve ever had
Fresh fish at the market
I mean, why not be a tourist?
Caleb loved getting group pictures
So much fresh fruit as well
It was almost Carnival, so some market workers put on a show
I got to wear sandals in February
Caleb is actually the least grumpy of us all
I love churches
SAGRADA FAMILIA IS AMAZING
The stained glass blew me away
The sun was shining through
Some pieces from the original church
It looked as though the church was on fire
Outside of Sagrada
This is the workshop at Sagrada, where designers work on the final pieces of the church – scheduled to be completed in 2026
A bit out of order, but this is a picture of the Pyrenees Mountain range as we flew over France and into Spain!
Lots of graffiti in Spain
Tons of alcohol as well
I love that the oranges still have leaves on them
Our hostel had free sangria the first night we were there
Some tapas
And a fancy salmon, mango, and avocado meal
This is squid I believe
I don’t think we stopped eating
I love their sandwiches – ham and cheese, toasted
We made it to the ocean!
I really liked how accessible juice boxes were
More sangria because why not?
Some of our pinchos
And our picnic in the park
We took the bikes out for an afternoon
Views
The bar Dow Jones was great! The drink prices dropped as more people came in
I was able to see Mel from UND – she’s studying in France
And I saw Jackie from UND too! She’s studying in northern Spain
Paella from lunch
And another with Jackie
I loved alll the cool colors of the buildings
And all of the detail
The Arch was pretty neat
I kept forgetting how close we were to the mountains
Katie has a koi fish so she was super excited about this mural
We had to
And the beach!
Did a little photo shoot with a pretty strawberry
There were a lot of pieces of green glass in the sand
The boyz (feat. just Spencer)
And then they decided to go for a swim….
And Katie joined
Fresh fruit, seriously?
Morocco – Casablanca
First thing I noticed as we boarded our plane – newspapers in French and Arabic
I loved watching the map appear on the plane tvs
Everyone says airplane food isn’t very good BUT I COULD LIVE OFF THIS DELICIOUSNESS
Our Airbnb host left us a message and treats
The door to our place
More palm trees
Our first view of the Hassan II Mosque
Look at that fisherman’s pole!
You could walk down a set of stairs and right into the raging waves
We’re getting closer
Just look at the detail
This was my first mosque I visited, and it was spectacular
The arches were so cool
The details
That tiny spec in the bottom corner is me!
Just to show you how massive this mosque was!
I love this so. much.
Some of this was metal as well
Olive oil at the cafe we went to for lunch
The mint tea was so great. I wanted about five glasses of it. You can even see this steam coming off it if you look closely
There were cats everywhere. This is cat 1
Cat 2
And cat 3, who had gorgeous eyes
Olives seem to be a thing in Europe as well as Africa
This dish is combined with a basket of bread – it’s really good
Had to get at least one picture of the “wildlife”
There were some upscale parts of town, but some bad ones too
So much fruit for sale on the streets – these strawberries were giant
The mall had a water show outside
We were at the beach during low tide
And I was pretty excited
We even got to see the sun set
And I had to get some pictures with my new scarf from Barcelona
The Netherlands – Amsterdam & Apeldoorn
Oh, and a little bit of Germany as well!
I loved all the canals
I wish I could have been here when all the flowers were in bloom!
Cheese
And more cheese
Thankfully I was able to see some tulips
These were huge and amazing
Europe is covered in moss
Katie loves fries
Remebraint
This was a journal and letters someone found after the war
It was very eye-opening to see a real “Jude” star
So I wasn’t supposed to take any photos, but I guess I snuck one in
This is the central train station
The Bulldog – a “coffeeshop”
It was almost my last name!
Scotland – Edinburgh & Stirling
My first view of Edinburgh Castle
The view of Edinburgh before I entered the castle
Here’s the entrance
Thank you Mr. Piper, for teaching me what a portcullis is
There were quite a few cannons
This man shoots the 1 o’clock gun off
I jolted when the gun went off it was so loud!
There was a huge museum with war history
A chapel on the top level of the castle
The flag of Scotland
It got sunny for a little bit
I loved the details
THIS IS PROBABLY WHERE THEY WOULD DUMP HOT OIL ON PEOPLE
The castle from a distance
A misty and mysterious morning
Edinburgh is down there somewhere
The milkshakes were amazing
And I loved this
We ended up in China
And then somewhere near the Equator, hence the palm trees
Kind of like a cactus, but also like a pine tree
The beginning to our hike of Arthur’s Seat
The finish line
Cue Scottish highland music
This is how we felt about the wind
We went to the ocean as well
My first fish and chips
Stirling, Scotland
Wallace is very significant in Scotland (for obvious reasons)
The lighting was too good to leave these out
Abby has started wearing a lot of rings and she told me what they meant but I forgot
Here you go Dad
From my first day (the pictures following are out of order of the rest)
Haggis, tatties, and neeps
Harry Potter 🙂
I had to get a selfie in the Elephant House
It’s a coffee shop where JK Rowling worked on Harry Potter
Yep, this happened within the first seven hours of me being in Scotland
We almost fell off the wind was so insane
St. Patty’s (I had green earrings on)
Norway – Trondheim
Carol had rain boots for us to borrow and I loved mine
Katie was trying to talk to the rain gods or something
I LOVE THE ROCKS
It was pretty foggy out while we visited, but we could still see the mountains in the distance.
Some water birds
I LOVE THE PEBBLES!
We made dinner for Carol and Leif one night!
England – London
Enjoying spring
I know the focus is wrong, but ah well
Buckingham Palace. They didn’t want to adopt me
Iconic
And I could still see Big Ben from here
So I guess this will have to do
Of course they were doing construction on it when I wanted a good picture
I spy
The Tower Bridge off in the distance
I feel very official with St. Paul’s in the background
The same kind of roof they had when it caught fire (from a canon) and burned down
Bad quality picture, but gives you an idea of what it looks like
Kristoffer
The Wibbly Wobbly Bridge! The Deatheaters destroyed this in one of the Harry Potter movies
J.K. ROWLING WALKED DOWN THIS STREET AND PULLED INSPIRATION FROM IT FOR DIAGON ALLEY AND KNOCKTURN ALLEY
@ Ciara
This is where Ron peaked around the corner at the Ministry of Magic!

I love flowers and springtime
The market area

Sweden – Gothenburg
Before we left
The family 🙂
Sweden is awesome
They got us Easter eggs!!! It was the cutest thing ever
HERE THEY ARE
The dinner table full of Easter decorations
Salad, sausage, meatballs, jam, corn, lamb, and potatoes
The giant Easter egg we went on a hunt for after dinner
One of the cakes. It has jam in it
There’s a little hen on this piece of cake
Not the best quality picture, but it was beautiful nevertheless
HAGA
Flowers outside of Matilda’s house
Low lighting, high enthusiasm
The sun was kind of blinding
Can you tell I liked the cinnamon rolls yet?
We had no idea what the heck this is
Denmark – Amsterdam
Trying for that jumping picture
Ice cream and waffles. So. Good.
And found a windmill
Went into a fortress too
Found a bird, Dad
Mermaids are real
Another flag with another cross
Flowers in bloom even though it was probably 40 degrees
This has all the colors of the buildings on Nyhavn
Can you guess which colors were my favorite?
Some sort of jumpy thing
The first thing we saw as we walked toward Nyhavn
We were trying to be like the windmill
Norway – Bergen
I took lots of pictures of flowers
And the blurry one from Katie’s view
This place makes my soul happy
LOOK DAD I GOT FISH
Found a chair carved into a stump from a tree
Got a picture of it like this
Sat on said chair
Looked out at the sea
So I made one
These were everywhere. They symbolize wanting to come back
Okay, kids are dressed in these adorable jumpsuits here in Norway, I had to get one picture at least
Seriously, this hike made me so happy
I loved this
The trolls are kind of scary in Norway
I got this super cool hat
The fluffball
HC’s mom gave us the greatest breakfasts 🙂
A clear day in Bergen
This is basically their backyard
This.
The buildings had snow up to their windows, or past their roofs
1222 feet above elevation
So much snow
These are out of order: but look at this! I was on top of the world
Pictures cannot capture how beautiful this was
From
American football in Norway
I love these
Getting ready for 17. Mai
I asked this random guy for a flower cause he was handing them out
The iconic
Iconic 2.0
Here’s some fish Dad
and some more
The fish market
I love the colors of the buildings here
The main area of town
Seriously, I love these trees
Then I decided to become part of the tree
I made Katie take pictures of me with the flowers, but of course I couldn’t get a normal face
Norway – Moss
Iceland – Reykjavik
