Iceland Part 1

A few days before we flew 

back to the states for the summer,

we took advantage of 

Icelandair's stopover promotion.

It is a great way to see this beautiful

country if you're flying to or from Europe!

We arrived early in the morning and 

had 3 full days of sightseeing.

 We stayed in a cute B&B right in

the city.

We rented a car one day 

and spent the entire day

driving the Golden Circle.

It was a long day in the car

but oh so worth it.

We stopped first

(not on the tour) at this spot..

amazing rock formations everywhere.

The kids got out and made some of their own.

First stop on the tour

is Thingvellir National Park.

I'm just realizing I might need

to post Iceland in two parts!

I took so many pictures..

It is such an easy country

to photograph..

surrounded by beauty.

From there we drove to

view the Geysir Strokkur

that sprouts water 100 ft in the 

air about every 5-10 minutes.

And this is the last shot 

I got of the Geysir right

before it errupted..

there was a reason that 

everyone was standing on that side.

I got SOAKED!!

I'll post the last two stops

on our tour tomorrow!
