NY flashbacks.

I went to NY with three of my best friends in March 2012, meaning just a little over a year ago. I still haven't posted 

much of the photos I took turing the amazing trip, so I found out it's about time I share them with you. All the photos 

are shot by me, unless specified - and they are great memories from a great trip! We - meaning; Katharina, Synnøve 

and I - left Oslo for NY March 16th and met up with Katinka in NY. Katinka studies in Charlottesville, Virginia. We spent 

6 days in NY and 4 days in Virginia at Katinka's place. The trip was actually very spontaneously planned. It all started 

with me finding out that one of my favorite bands, Sons of Bill, would have a concert in their hometown, Charlottesville! 

I told Katinka they would play in the town she studies in - and for fun i started playing with the thought of flying to NY, spend 

a couple of days there, before going to Charlottesville to see both Sons of Bill play AND visit Katinka! I had been dreaming 

about going to NY for a long time, I've wanted to visit Katinka in Virginia and I really wanted to see Sons of Bill 

LIVE! And how amazing it would be to see them play on the local theatre in their hometown! This was just an opportunity 

I couldn't miss! And how lucky was I that my two amazing girls also decided to come with me! So here's some of 

the photos from our days in NY. I'll be sure to post some more later, and some from Charlottesville as well. Ah, I miss traveling.

I don't think I would be able to describe what I felt when this photo was taken. The girls were so incredibly patient
this day, and gave me all the time I wanted to go wild at a Victoria's Secret store, before I spent a couple of
hours at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue and at the dawn of the day we spent quite some time at Sam Ash Music
Store, where I found the guitar of my dreams. I couldn't live with myself leaving it behind, so after checking
with the bus company we were going to travel with to Charlottesville, that I would be able to get it on the bus, I
 ran back to the store with the girls right behind (even though they were tired, hungry and struggling with blisters)
and bought it with the biggest smile on my face. The girls were so happy for me, and I can't thank them enough for
 being so amazingly patient for me on our last day in New York. If I didn't express my gratitude enough this day,
girs: THANK YOU! You're the best, and it meant the world to me!

This is it for now - have a lovely sunday afternoon.

easter: raspberries, fondue, iced latte & sister time.

I've had the greatest easter break. The weather has been impeccable and I've even got to spend a couple of days in

 the mountains skiing with my dad and my little sister. Such a lovely little trip - and my legs are still tired! In a good 

way though, hehe! Other than that, I've had dinner with the girls, had coffee on the harbor with Synnøve in the

 sun, spent some lovely, lazy hours on the balcony reading and sunbathing, had wonderful dinners at my parents 

house and spent some lovely evenings with my dear. I simply couldn't have asked for a better easter break!

My sweet little sister, Henny, spent the night here during the holiday and together we payed the city a short visit 

to do some window shopping and get out of the apartment and get some fresh air and enjoy the sunny weather for 

a couple of hours. Back home we sat down at the dining table enjoying raspberries, fondue and ice coffee. YUM.

I got the cutest and BIGGEST easter egg from my love. Mr. H surprised me with it, and you can get

 a glimpse of it in one of the photos above. It's pink, and you absolutely can't miss it! Thanks, love!

I know I've been lousy at updating my blog for a long time now, but if you like you may follow me on 

instagram. I love sharing photos, and here I post photos many times a day! Just search for: reginepandora.
