One of the gifts we gave to each of our sons and their sweethearts this past Christmas, was a voucher for a double-date with Cheri and me. We thought it would be nice to give the kids an experience instead of stuff. More importantly, we thought it would be a pretty sneaky way to get the kids to take some time for fun with mom and dad.
This past Sunday, we had a double-date lunch outing with our oldest son and his wife. The restaurant we went to FIKA at the American-Swedish Institute. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was bright and casual. We will definitely be making more visits in the months ahead.
In Sweden, fika is a daily break, traditionally involving coffee and treats. In truth, fika is about much more than caffeine and carbohydrates; it's a Swedish social institution, where friends gather to chat about life and current events.GO TO THE FIKA WEBSITE
