We really weren’t planning on taking any big vacations this summer, but then came along a great deal on flights to Iceland and you know how much I hate to pass up a deal..Eric booked four tickets and I made a beeline to the post office to expedite passports. The Schulzes were going to Iceland!
Iceland was beautiful and the pictures we took really don't do it justice as nature's beauty is a 10 there. The kids were great sports about hiking and sight seeing, but they'd tell you their favorite part of the trip was a zip line at Iceland's elementary school park which was a five minute walk from our airbnb. We went there multiple times.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...
