Speaking of vacation, I have some pictures I haven’t showed you from Mexico. We saw among other things a lot of animals there. Was looking forward to (and also not) see their monkeys, but they had escaped. I hope they are ok!

We are going down to Philadelphia today. Decided yesterday that we should make a trip down there over the weekend. Time is now half past five and I have showered and made myself done. Jim will probably sleep until we need to leave our home, haha. 
I have written a list of course of things we need to see in the city. I skype’d with my parents yesterday and of course my dear father mentioned that we should walk on all the streets that Bruce Springsteen is walking on in Streets of Philadelphia. Looking forward to this weekend.

Last year Jim went to an event here in New York with guest chefs and one of them was from Lillie’s Q. He brought home a smoky bbq sauce that we used in our meatballs that we made for our fake Christmas Eve exactly one year ago. So good!

Andersonville

När vi var i Chicago förra veckan åkte vi till Andersonville (läs historia HÄR). Lång biltur dit, promenerade runt i området, handlade lakrits och choklad, kort besök på Swedish-American Museum, och sedan en lång biltur tillbaka igen. Jim och hans mamma har ju svenskt i blodet så det var roligt att gå runt där och visa svenska saker och förklara hur det ser ut i Sverige på julen.
En kall men mycket trevlig dag!

English: When we were in Chicago last week, we went to Andersonville (read the history HERE). Long drive there, walked around the area, bought some licorice and chocolate, short visit to the Swedish-American Museum, and then a long drive back again. Jim and his mother have some Swedish in their blood so it was fun to walk around there and see Swedish things and explain how it looks like in Sweden at Christmas.
A cold but very nice day!
