A royal encounter


On Saturday afternoon, our family attended a new building dedication at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis. HRH King Carl XVI Gustaf and HRH Queen Silvia of Sweden attended the event.  The King gave his remarks in addition to speeches by the American Ambassador to Sweden and the Swedish Ambassador to America. That evening, my wife and I enjoyed the gala dinner honoring their majesties at the Minneapolis Hilton Hotel

This was a special opportunity. Thanks for sharing it. (My ancestry is 50% Swedish.)
