This weekend I went to Norway.
It was an amazing trip and I’m so glad I went. I’m also glad Ellie went with me, traveling is fun with a buddy! At this point in time I don’t really have that many words. Instead I’m going to show you pictures of my favorite parts of the trip.
Landing in Norway.
Ellie and I spent the weekend in a hotel on the outskirts of Oslo. It was so tiny and filled with very Ikea furniture/design. Oh! The bathroom had heated floors. I will never be happy with normal bathrooms ever again.

I loved exploring the city at night. J’adore the quiet streets.
On Sunday, Ellie and I took a bus to Drøbak–a small town about few hours away from Oslo. It was a quaint coastal town. Norway reminded me a lot of America (wide streets, highways, pizza) and Drøbak reminded both of us of a quaint New England town; how charming.
The beautiful coast.
The sun, the waves, the beauty!
Norwegian beaches 🙂
Drøbak is also the “adopted” home of Santa. We went to a year round Christmas store (my favorite kind of store). We also stumbled upon Santa’s Post Office. I wish it had been open so I could have read the letters.
The walls are covered with letters to Santa!
I loved the weather in Norway! Red, yellow, orange leaves! Color! Crisp air! I love fall!
The perfect photo of fall.
Before catching the plane home on Monday, Ellie and I went to Vigelandpsarken (Vigeland Sculpture Park). It was a rainy, gray day and it was perfect for leisurely exploring the park and then shopping in the afternoon.
Angry Baby.
God is here.
This is my last planned trip with Ellie and I have to say, she was a great travel buddy! We worked really well together, bringing different things to the flip-down-tray, and having a really good time! I love Ellie!

Yay Norway!
