my happy place

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I have a busy day ahead of me. Sarah isn’t home. Emma is in school. I have a busload of work to catch up on and a couple loads of laundry int he queue.

BUT, i’ll be back later this afternoon, at which point I’ll share something with you….  My happy place. I’ll even take pictures. ;)

But while I’m working I’d like it if you thought about the same. What’s your favourite place? It could be around the house (inside or out) or somewhere far away…. a place you often return to in your mind.

Photographs always encouraged.

Later skaters!

My Happy Place is always the Beach.

Right now, I just got back from Pacific Beach and Mission Beach in San Diego (I am still in CA, but at the hotel). I have to say that all my dreams have come true. BeachMama has made it to California and will always have a happy place to go to.

My favorite place I’ve been to so far has to be Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta. The scenery is stunning, the hotel is gorgeous and the staff is so friendly. I’ve been there during the winter and the summer. It’s equally stunning in both seasons.
If I ever win the lottery, I’ll fly all my friends and family there and have a second wedding there. I have some great pics. I’ll post some on my blog soon.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
