OMG!! Presh, Acker family! I can't wait to hear the accent that Katherine has probably mastered by now...and Davis has attempted. : ) Haha, hope y'all get home safe and I hope the other luggage is located! Have fun!!

Hi,looks like all is going well for the family trip and you got your luggage!! The pictures are truly amazing. Mom loved all the news from the blogs. I am trying to talk her into a cooler vacation place next summer!! Mac says Martha and I would love the snowy mts. Take care and say hey to everyone for us!

It looks as though the Acker family is having an awesome Scandinavian adventure. The photos are absolutely amazing. I'm sure the views are even more breathtaking in person. I'm also sensing that some of you may have a future career in professional blogging. I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful time. I look forward to more photos, videos, and blogs.

Great job with the blog, Katherine! You had me laughing and I could so relate with the "smiling faces" "beautiful places".

Glad to see that everyone finally decided to make a vacation out of this trip. Looks like you guys are doing some fun stuff and seeing some really interesting things.

A couple of tips:

1. Tell George to take the blackberry off his belt. It is vacation after all.

2. The golf looked great... course is in better condition than they are around here. Good to see that Trent found the sand, so it just like playing back home for him. Tell Han's we can get him in touch with the people to open a golf cart franchise over there... with those hills, he would make a fortune.

3. Along the same line, I have never seen the Acker family walk so much in my entire life.

4. Katherine - nice try on the less dorky blog. Close but no cigar. Let Erica have a shot at it, it may just be a dorky gene that y'all share. A fresh bloodline may make all the difference.

Finally, I agree with Hank. Take a picture or two of your host. We know what you guys look like, we don't get to see Hans and the gang very often. Plus, that will help prove that you are not just in the hilly section of New Jersey pretending that you actually made it to Norway.

Keep having fun and staying in touch.

By the way, the scenery is great, but how about some shots of everyone there. I havent' seen the Fundingsruds in a couple of years. Thanks!

So glad to hear everyone has fresh clothing. Everything here at the house is OK. Rosie misses you tremendously. She especially wants a sample of the reindeer stew. Keep sending more pictures. Tell all the Fundindsruds I miss seeing them on this visit, but take care.

Hi-so glad I finally found youall!! The pictures are great and I hope you have all of your luggage now!! I will forward to Uncle Bill so Grandma will know what is going on!! Take care. Love,Emmy

Glad to hear you finally made it. Too bad your luggage couldn't come along. I am sure there is a homeless man in Newark who is enjoying his new collection of Clemson t-shirts.

Let the Griswold.. er, I mean Acker vacation begin!

Hi Acker Family/Ms. Bailey! Thought I'd check out the awesome blog, Katherine! (Nice work, Davis). Any reindeer attacks yet? I think next time I should get to go since I'm the "favorite". : ) Have fun!

Hope you guys have a good trip. Tell Kathryn to behave, we can't have any international incidents like we did with that Italy trip.

Tell the Hans' that the Neely's said hello.

Let the travels begin. Good Luck
