Hi lovelies♥ We came home from New York late last night, and I spent the evening on the couch with my boyfriend and Bella, which felt so good. It’s always good to get home to the people I love, but man I miss NY already!! It’s just something about the city, I feel like I belong there.. The trip exceeded all of my expectations! You know how bloggers often get criticized for portraying a more perfect picture of their life? Well, this last week has been the opposite for me, because the trip was so amazing I have no chance of finding words to describe it. My cousin Fride is one of the most fantastic people I know, and we’ve made so many memories we’ll never forget. You know those moments you laugh so hard no sound come out? We had those like a hundred times a day, haha. So a big thanks to my love Fride for making this trip simply indescribable♥

Today is a great day as well though, it’s my boyfriend’s birthday!! Yay, happy birthday to the best boyfriend in the world♥ We slept in and he opened presents from me and Bella in bed, I always love giving presents to my loved ones. Soon we’re off to adjust the strap on the watch I gave him, and I need to do some serious green grocery shopping. Normally I’m a really healthy eater, but during this whole New York trip I’ve eaten everything in sight!! My clothes are so much tighter now, and there’s no chance in hell I’m stepping on the scale, haha. I don’t even care, we had such a good time tasting every goodie that the city had to offer, but now I feel like I should step up my veggies intake to make up for the damage. I thought I’d make one of those green veggie juices. They taste like horse shit, but they do the trick!

Before we’re off I thought I’d share some pics from the Empire State Building. I prefer Rockefeller Center to Empire State Building, but we didn’t have time to go until 1 in the morning so Rockefeller was closed. It was freezing and so windy, we almost couldn’t stand up straight, but of course magical like nothing else..

You know how they say pictures add 10 pounds? Well, the wind on the top of Empire State Building adds 50, haha.

Sorry for the bad pictures by the way, my camera is so fancy but so complicated, so I couldn’t really figure out what settings to use. Anyhow, on this picture you can see two cool things. The triangle shaped building on the bottom of the picture which is called the Flatiron Building, isn’t it cool? And also, in the back you can see Freedom Tower, which is the ‘new’ World Trade Center. We visited the area earlier in the day, which is always very emotional, but even more so that day as the Boston bombing happened the day before, and we were already shaky. It’s fun to see how the new building is coming along though, definitely a place I recommend visiting if you’re ever in New York. I’ll share more pics of that tomorrow.

Thanks for everything New York, I’ll be back before you know it♥

  4. Hei!
    Lurte på om du som virker veldig kjent med New York vil anbefale å dra dit i juni? Jeg har hørt det kan bli fryktelig varmt om sommeren.
    Du har forresten en herlig blogg:)

  6. Hei :) Ja juni går nok fint, jeg ville nok styrt unna juli og august.. Det er jo selvfølgelig fint å besøke byen uansett, men det var vanvittig varmt og luftfuktigheten var helt forferdelig, pluss at veldig mange new yorkere drar til Hamptons så hele stemningen er litt annerledes. Så regner det mye om sommeren.. Men juni går nok fint :) Klem

  9. Bildene er nydelige as always, så skjønner ikke helt hva du mener ;) Har vært oppe i Top of the Rock et par ganger, men aldri oppe i Empire State Building. Har vel sett for meg at det alltid er så mye folk der at det ødelegger litt av opplevelsen. Men jeg tar kanskje feil? Det ser i alle fall utrolig flott ut på bildene dine!

  11. It looks like you had an amazing time! I am slightly jealous :P. I went to New York a few years ago but I am definitely feeling the need to go back again very soon!! There is just soo much to do it seems almost impossible to do it all in one trip. Which I guess is an awesome excuse to take another one!!
    Hope you are having a fantastic day!

  16. Vi har egentlig tenkt å dra dit i august, men du skriver at det er litt dumt? Kan ikke dra noen andre ganger i sommer siden mamma skal på et kurs der da, men du ville vel heller dratt og ikke lagt opp til 10-timers dager? Det var iallefall det jeg planla, haha. :) Men så vurderte vi om det var smartere å dra i høstferien.. Men det er så deilig å ha litt tid etterpå til å komme tilbake til normal døgnrytme. :)

    Bildene dine er uansett fantastiske, syns absolutt de er bra. Det er vanskelig å ta sånne bilder om kvelden. Regner med du ikke brukte stativ? Gleder meg iallefall til å oppleve det en dag. :)

    Så må dere ha lykke til med Brann-Viking da, hehe. Sitter dere å ser? Gjør det selv nå (heier jo på viking) og syns at viking skal vinne, haha. :) (også fikk Brann mål, æsj..)

  25. Nei jeg syns du har rett i det :) Har vært i begge flere ganger, og liker Rockefeller såå mye bedre. Syns utsikten er like fin, men man har mye bedre “tilgang” til utsikten. I Empire er det så trangt og alltid så mye folk, så man må jo nesten stå i kø for å komme frem til gjerdet, selv klokken 2 om natten. Rockefeller er mye romsligere :)

  26. Det er bare til å reise i sommer, New York er fantastisk uansett, men personlig liker jeg bedre å reise om høsten enn sommeren :) Men kommer til å bli bra uansett når dere reiser. Nei brukte ikke stativ, og det blåste helt forferdelig, så fikk det ikke helt til ;p Klem
