Friday morning we drove from Oslo to Arvika in Sweden to leave our car at a Saab reapir shop to get it fixed while we're on vacation. We took the train to Stockholm and stayed the night at the Nordic Light Hotel. If you haven't already been here, I recommend you stop by for a night or two. It's very special - we loved it.

My girlfriends and I had lunch at the opera in Oslo today. Such an amazing building. The opera house is design by the Norwegian architects Snøhetta.

Our belated honeymoon/summer vacation has started. Well, at least for me. Sølve has to work in Oslo until Friday while I hang out with friends here. The first part of our trip was a roadtrip from Bergen to Oslo, with a lunch stop at the family house at Voss. Here we are crossing Hardangervidda (the Hardanger plateau).
We are off on a month long adventure tomorrow. We changed our minds about the roadtrip in the US. Instead we are visiting Oslo, Stockholm, Barcelona, Provence, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and a few other places in Sweden and Norway. I'll probably stop by here from time to time and give you glimpses of our travels. So long peeps!

My friend turned 30 this weekend and she celebrated it with a wonderful girls' garden party. Her husband cooked a super yummy bbq dinner, the weather was warm and sunny, and all the guests wore pretty summer dresses. There were lawn games, bare feet in the grass, and strawberry galore. 
The birthday girl had a big smile on her face the whole evening. It was in fact the perfect summer garden party.
