Stockholm: Feeling less like an Amerikan tourist.

Uncle Richard and Aunt Anita were married in Anita's hometown of V??xj?? in 1963. It was an intimate affair with about a dozen guests, not including the groom's parents (who were vacationing in Venice at the time and couldn't be bothered to head up to Sweden for their son's wedding??? that wound never fully healed). Now that they've been married for 45 years, they're getting remarried and having a blowout in Stockholm the weekend of June 28. My wife and I are headed for Stockholm a week early, so we can celebrate midsommar and being married for one-ninth as long as Uncle Richard and Aunt Anita. 
Where should this dynamic and glamourous family stay in Stockholm? Ostermalm? Sodermalm? Whos-your-malm? We'd love to find an apartment to stay in for that week because it's generally easier with a 3-year-old to have an apartment than a hotel room. More space = more happiness for the whole family.Where should we eat? And what should we eat? Any particular specialties to recommend? Where should we drink our morning coffee? Morning coffee is very important to us.As for records, I've heard tell of recordmania and snickars, for the flatblackplastics, and I'd love to get a guided record tour if one could be arranged. But this trip isn't really about records. 
Where should we take our daughter Helen who's gonna be pushing 3? 
And finally, what should we do in Stockholm on midsommar? Should we chase all the Swedes out to the archipelago? Or should we stick around, skanking and skolling in Skanson?Any and all Stockholm advice is much appreciated, either here or on the PM tip. Thanks soulstrut.JRoot
