Norwegians in NYC part 1


First time in Central Park for KB and the kids.
Nikolas came to the US for the first time since he was a little kid, so he was very interested in certain things about the US, like the money.  Here he's stealing people's wishes from the Bethesda so he can see the difference in the coins.  He also asked if we have fireflies here in NYC.  I thought that was a great question, and the first time I think I've been asked that. 











Here we are at the Natural History Museum.  Although I've been to the museum a few times over the years I've been in NYC, it was my first time visiting the Planetarium since I was a kid.  Their new movie is quite impressive! 


The only time I remember going to the Planetarium was when I went with Bruce's Cub Scout troop and my mom must have been one of the leaders.  I was sitting with my best friend, Nancy, and the movie had a comment that in the olden days, people thought that the spots on the moon were windows and doors, and that people on the moon were looking out of them.  We got the giggles so badly, people had to shush us.  For the rest of our friendship, we could quote that part of the movie and burst out laughing.  Anyway, here we (they) are with the dinosaurs and out front.

I lied... Here are a few more pictures.

We dyed eggs for Easter. Kevin's says "I am a loser. From Sonya"
You can clearly see what mine says.

Last pictures

For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of us except for these.

Hardangarvidda



One day we decided to go for a drive up to Hardangervidda. This is a national park that is the highest point in western Norway. There was still lots of snow, but KB said that this is just a fraction of what they normally have. We got tons in NYC and they barely got any this year.  I forgot to bring my camera but these pics with my phone aren't too bad. (Click here for a description of the park and hikes you can take)

Norway 2014

I was kind of bummed that I probably wasn't going to be able to get a good vacation this year. KB is moving back to the US and then who knows what will happen?  I thought about going for one last visit in the winter but I had jury duty for the whole month of February and then I had to catch up on work in March. But then I found a cheap fare to go over for Easter and KB was house and dog sitting for some friends during the week, so I decided to go for it. I'm so glad I did.
Here's the house...
