Catching up...

I keep lagging in my blog updates, there is much to catch up on!

JP gave good highlights of our recent trip to Oslo, so I just thought I would share a few pics... Oslo was super fun and we enjoyed seeing the sights and for me wearing flip flops and a skirt was the highlight of the trip. To see more pics you can go to our shutterfly site- link is on the top left of this page.

Here is a pic of the four of us (we also had our friend Aimee with us who is an expat here at EY with us from NY) in our room pre-partying before we went out for the night. The drinks in Oslo are extremely expensive- so we thought we'd be a little strategic with our funds.

This is a view of the city from near the castle... gorgeous, clean, green... what more can you ask for?

We walked for over 30 minutes through some dodgy Oslo streets to arrive to a closed Munch museum (he is a famous Norweigan artist). We still had to photograph the conclusion to our journey.

On the homefront- the weather has improved drastically- which gives us something new to complain about... when it is warm here you must still take public transportation. The underground and buses are not air conditioned which means you arrive to work a little more stinky than you left. I wouldn't trade the warm weather to go back to the cold... it is quite nice to break out the sun dresses and skirts. I just hope it keeps- there is nothing more unpredictable than London weather!

In the last couple weeks JP and I celebrated our anniversary and welcomed our friend Jon to town. JP and Jon enjoyed a week of bonding and extreme liver damage. I look forward to new visitors next week- Peggy & Joy. They are in London on a stopover during a whirlwind European vacation. I am excited to see them both and show them the town.

This weekend is our friend Stuart's birthday (You'll recall from previous Angie & JP posts that he strongly resembles Troy Aikman and is always the last man standing after a night out). Tonight his wife has planned a group outing to a bar/lounge in Mayfair. The goal is to get out, get dressed up and try a non-pub option for a change. Here is where we are heading: http://www.mewsofmayfair.com/home.asp We are looking forward to it.

Other than that- a little Happy Mother's day to all my friends who are mums and of course the best mums of all- my mom and Grace.

Until next time...
