Där finns den Astrid Lindgrenska världen. Barnen skulle älska det."En: "When we travel south," Nils began, "we can stop in Småland. There's the Astrid Lindgren world.

Sandning i skidor på snön, åh! Det vore ett äventyr."En: "But what if we drive north to Åre instead? Skiing on the snow, oh! It would be an adventure."Sv: Nils drog ett djup andetag och nickade långsamt.En: Nils took a deep breath and nodded slowly.Sv: "Jag vet att du älskar äventyr, men jag vill också att vi ska ha det bekvämt och njuta av resan utan stress."En: "I know you love adventure, but I also want us to be comfortable and enjoy the trip without stress."Sv: Astrid lade sin hand över Nils'.En: Astrid put her hand over Nils'.Sv: "Jag förstår dig. Men kom ihåg, ibland ligger de bästa stunderna i det oväntade. Kanske kan vi hitta en balans?"En: "I understand you. But remember, sometimes the best moments lie in the unexpected. Maybe we can find a balance?"Sv: De satt en stund i tystnad, med den värmande kaffekoppen i sina händer, medan snöflingorna virvlade förbi fönstret.En: They sat in silence for a while, with the warming coffee cup in their hands, while snowflakes swirled past the window.Sv: Stämningen inomhus fick alla problem att verka mindre, och snart bröt sig Nils' ansikte ut i ett leende.En: The atmosphere inside made all problems seem smaller, and soon Nils' face broke into a smile.Sv: "Vi kan planera de större bitarna," föreslog han.En: "We can plan the bigger parts," he suggested.Sv: "Men kanske lämnar vi några dagar öppna för spontanitet?"En: "But maybe we leave some days open for spontaneity?"Sv: Astrid nickade, hennes ögon gnistrande av den mixade upphetsningen.En: Astrid nodded, her eyes sparkling with mixed excitement.Sv: "Ja!
