How excited are we?
Once a year all the Nilsens that have them (that excludes the only full blood Norwegians among us) dons their bunads (national costumes) and we head to a park outside DC to celebrate the Norwegian national day
The celebration is beautiful (I would say that, wouldn't I...;) in its simplicity, the 200 - 300 that show up parades around a field
...and show off their stuff...
...and eat ice cream...
This year had the distinction of being a truly cold, muggy and miserable one, but ice-cream we HAD to have, don't even have to be Norwegian to enjoy that logic.
Happy birthday Norway.
