Our enthusiasm for new adventures was still high when we woke up last Sunday morning to another overcast day. We didn't let that stop us from planning an outing to Bogesundslandet, an area known for it's extensive walking paths and a 17th century manor house, Bodesund Manor.
Bogesundslandet is located near Vaxholm, a short drive north of the city and east of us. The kids were excited to see such an old home, and they explored the grounds hoping to catch sight of proof of the original owners. A glimpse into a lower level window revealed a very modern kitchen, but surely it was haunted! The manor house is open for tours in the summer months, so we plan to return to see for ourselves.
We visited with some horses at a nearby stable, then hopped back into the car to continue exploring the area. We spotted a well-marked walking trail and decided to go for a hike.
Graeme was playing "Mario" and he made me laugh when he scooted ahead of us on the trail. The sight of his lopsided red hat bobbing up and down in the woods earned him a new nickname, "Jackrabbit Joe"!
We headed for home after our walk in the woods. We enjoyed the rest of Sunday just by hanging out at the house.
