Trip 5: Number Five
June 27th ~ Aug 10th 2006
Our fifth (Zoe's 3rd) trip to Sweden. Jessica and Zoe arrived on June 27th. I was looking for a job, so I came a month later on July 27th. With temps in the upper 70's, it was nice to get out of the 100+ temps that San Jose was having when I left.

Daddy’s Here
I arrived in Sweden by myself this time. Jessica and Zoe have been here for a month already, but I stayed home to do some work. I’m glad to be out of the heat wave and more glad to see Jessica and Zoe again.
When they left I still had no job, only some contract work. Times were tough but what Jessica did not know was that two days before leaving fro Sweden I secured an amazing job as the web developer for a start up in Palo Alto. SWEET!

Tuomaan Paja Gift Shop
Tuomaan Paja is a really cool gift shop/ restaurant on the Finnish side of the Torne River. In the winter you can drive across the frozen river to get there real quick, but in the summer we have to drive 20 kilometers down to Övertorneå then back up the Finnish side. It takes about 30 minutes but it’s a nice drive.

The First Week
Jessica and Zoe left for Sweden a month before I did. I was still looking for a job, and finishing up a contract project.
Kalle and Kicki were thrilled to see the girls again, and it didn’t take long for Zoe to start playing and having fun. After a nice long sleep Jessica took Zoe down to the river for an unplanned dip.
