A couple of days ago we got back from a road trip through southern Sweden.

When I was a kid my family went on vacation somewhere in Sweden every summer, but Henrik and I have never really traveled in Sweden as grown ups, so I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. I wanted to go on a road trip to see many places, but we had to cut it down to just southern Sweden, and about 6 overnight stops.

Finally, here are the photos from our last day at Disneyland, which was spent at both parks.

I haven’t had the energy and time to read and reply to all the wonderful blog comments I’ve gotten since I got back from our trip, I’m sorry if you’ve felt ignored! But now I’ve read them all, so do check back if you’ve been waiting for a reply!

The second day at Disneyland Resort we went to California Adventure. I was pretty excited about it since they have changed lots of stuff since I was last there. I was mostly excited about seeing Buena Vista Street, which is supposed to be like a Los Angeles street in the 1920s, lots of beautiful art deco architecture!

This last full day was spent mostly lazing about the hotel, though we took a walk through the town as well.

I don’t have many photos from this day since most of it was spent on a great guided tour of Palm Springs’ mid century architecture. Our hotel had (oh so comfortable) bikes to loan so we took a nice bike ride to the Palm Springs visitors center at the very edge of Palm Springs, where our tour started.

We were in a car for the duration of the tour and didn’t really have time for pictures but we saw so many amazing houses, now I really want an Alexander house! I highly recommend taking the Palm Springs Modern tour with Robert Imber if you’re at all into mid century modern architecture.

We got back from our California vacation last night, and I just finished sorting through some photos.

Palm Springs was amazing! We stayed at the wonderful Orbit In which was just perfect. Here are a bunch of pictures, and a few Vine videos, from our arrival and first full day.

Me and Henrik are thinking about maybe going to stay in the US for three months sometime, partly as a sort of “trial” to see if living in the US (or perhaps Canada) full time is something we’d like to do. So far it’s just a very loose plan and we’re not sure what would be a good place to choose for an extended stay. North America is a huge place, so I’d love to get some tips!

What do you think is the best area to live in in? I have some criteria, but feel free to give tips even if they don’t fit. Preferably I want to live somewhere with a fairly similar climate to Sweden, four seasons with a proper snowy winter. I hate wind so maybe not a super windy place, and not too humid. Also, I want to live in a open minded place where I will feel comfortable dressing outside of the norm.

Also, we’re going to Palm Springs this April, so Palm Springs tips are very welcome as well!
