Since we are living here now, I first thought it may be a bit of a stretch to put this under the "Travel" category.  Then I decided that all of our field trips, big or small, will get some love!
As we were driving back from a chilly and rainy attempt at the beach on Saturday, Malena asks, "Can we go to the twisty tower?"   What she was referring to is a building in Malmö called the Turning Torso.  We opted to make the quick side trip (Malmö is only about 20 minutes away) and enjoyed some slightly better weather as well.

The Turning Torso is the tallest building in the Scandinavian countries.  It is mainly a residential building, and visits to the top are restricted to a couple of weeks during the summer (tickets are required...I think I will have to look into this!).  Here's a link to a little more info on this unusual building in case you are interested

We visited the TT (aka Turning Torso or Twisty Tower) during the day, but the building looks amazing at night, too!

Since the Turning Torso is right near the waterfront, the girls got to enjoy a little more time near the ocean.  I think they are really enjoying the open spaces here.
That's it for now.  I hope you enjoyed the first "Travel" post!
