Oslo's best

On the final full day of our Norway trip, we have been busy! 

First, we celebrated Madison's 18th birthday. She and Sophie celebrated with a morning jump in the Atlantic...I was there to see it but managed to refrain from joining in. 


Then Josefine prepared an incredible birthday breakfast...

And after breakfast cake, we were off! 

First, to the Holmenkollen ski jump, with an incredible view of the Oslofjord, and the terrifying prospect of actually jumping off the thing..


Then our fearless athletes paid money to go inside this awesome "Ski Simulator" because they Just Can't Get Enough...

The ski museum was full of treasures, including a pair of skis down at the end that Finn Christian Jagge signed and donated (Go Burke!) 

And an exhibit about how early ski poles were designed to enhance balance and also used as spears for bear hunting. So there's that. 

Then it was off to the Viking Museum where there were three *actual* Viking ships on display. One of the coolest things I've ever seen...


And now we are off to dinner to continue the Norway tour slash birthday celebration. See you all on Monday!
