Stockholm, My Scandinavian Hotel Room, and Skate Kids

We spent most of the morning and very early afternoon traveling to Stockholm.  When we landed, we had a couple of hours to kill before the group could check into the Courtyard Marriott, so our tour guide took us on a simple tour of a few spots, including Old Town.  We were treated to a spectacular view of several of the islands that make up Stockholm (and as was the case with my other posts, the pictures don't do it justice!).  Checked in at the Marriott, I thought it important to capture what is the most Scandinavian looking Courtyard Marriott I've ever seen.  The Marriott is directly across the street from a large beautiful park, that features sand volleyball, an open-air pub (with bocce ball courts), a lake with a dock for small boats, a children's playground, and a skate park!  Tomorrow will be a very busy day with more significant sites and things to report.

A magnificent view.
