I have been to the Caribbean Islands, California, New York City, and Saskatchewan! They are all fabulous places! Just make sure you visit Saskatchewan in the summer. The wheat is amazing, and the skies are endlessly blue! :) I went to New York City in February, and it’s amazing. Very cool city. If you line up at TKTS you can get tickets to broadway shows for that night much cheaper. :)

So happy to see Saskatchewan and Yellowknife on the list! I was born in Yellowknife and grew-up in northern Saskatchewan (Nipawin).
Maybe they’ll add Belgium to the list? Amazing cities: Antwerp and Bruges. Not to mention the cycling, chocolate, frites, and Flemish people.

Funny…we’ve been talking to the kids about where they’d like to travel. Mostly to the eldest who is 8. We recently decided against going to the Olympics because of 1) the cost and 2) kids won’t remember it and 3) there will be other Olympics we can attend when the kids are older and 4) why not save the money and dream of and discuss cool “big trip” destinations for a few years. We put the cash in a travel savings account where we’ll keep offramping some cash now and then, and now we begin our search for a great family trip. So far, we’re thinking of a 4-country month in Europe (Scotland, France, Holland and Italy). We also need to decide when. What is the best age for a trip with your family – where you understand and really experience what you are experiencing?

We live in Saskatchewan and frequently enjoy your blog as an insight to life down East. We welcome your family to visit our beautiful province. Do come in the summer as previously mentioned. Bring your camping gear and enjoy our many lakes. Stop in Saskatoon for Taste of Saskatchewan and the Jazz Festival, then enjoy Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan.
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human daughters: Emma (20) and Sarah (18). During the day I work as a writer at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. 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, family travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for families. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
