Frederikstad

On a day trip to Frederikstad with Joshua's parents, while Elizabeth worked, we were able to see a extremely well preserved fortress town that includes a moat surrounding it.  The weather was beautiful and although not many buildings were open the girls enjoyed trekking all over the ramparts, and climbing on and pretending to fire a bunch of cannons.

 Walking the streets was like going back in time, town was founded in 1567

 On the walk through Frederikstad we found this bike and bench outside the Frederikstad handicraft society building and it made us think of our friend Adrianne
