City Tripping #8

A very happy new year to you all! I hope you had a wonderful time over the festive season. Welcome to the eighth City Tripping hosted by myself and the fab Cathy at MummyTravels. A big thank you for all your support during 2015. We are very much looking forward to hearing about your antics in cities across the globe in 2016.

I am currently far away from city life. I saw in New Year within the shadows of the French Alps where I’m spending some time with my family. The trip started off very UNsnowy with bare slopes and beautiful sunshine – great for getting out for walks and runs without packing on the layers but not so great for skiing.  

The past few days the snow has come and come and come. Within two days the area completely changed. We enjoyed the fantastic powdery snow and time on the slopes with some amazing views.


But I digress! In short, I haven’t been near a city for a while. So, this week I am linking up a post from last year when we spent some time in a very cold and wintery Chicago after my husband unexpectedly fell ill. With a toddler to amuse, I went in search of family-friendly activities in Chicago when the mercury was down at -16 degrees celsius.

A big thank you to all those who linked up at the end of last year. This week you can link up at MummyTravels. Some of our favourites included.

The Top 10 Museums in London for Children – Suitcases and Sandcastles

Scenes Of Salzburg – What Up Swags

Love You Luang Prabang – Wilbur Travels

Looking forward to reading all about your city adventures. For those unfamiliar with City Tripping…here’s what it is all about.

What is City Tripping?

City Tripping is the place to come and link up your city-related posts. We want to find out the best of things to do and see in the city, any city in the world, whether you are travelling as a family, a couple or with friends and even if it is your home turf. It could be a day out, a review of an attraction, long weekend or sharing your best insider info and hidden gems – pretty much anything as long as it is city related.

How to join in the city fun

– Posts must be about your experiences in a city – any city, from reviews of days out to longer breaks

– Please share the linky love and comment on the two hosts’ posts and at least two others which take your fancy, using #citytripping so everyone knows you’re visiting from the linky

I've always loved to travel so when my two daughters came along, I didn't stop. Travelling as a family can have its ups and downs but I love showing my children the world and helping others navigate travelling with children in tow.
