The weeks seem to be rapidly disappearing and I can’t believe we are almost in mid October. We’ve just had another whirlwind weekend. Sunday was spent in Hyde Park attempting to see my husband run in his first competitive race since getting meningitis (and having heart surgery) and getting diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was running for Bloodwise and did extremely well. The Royal Parks half marathon goes through four of London’s Royal Parks so it wasn’t too much of a chore to watch (even with two children) although it would have been good if he’d seen his support team cheering him on!
A couple of weekends ago, we took a trip through another Royal park, Bushy Park to Hampton Court Palace where our daughter checked out a new play space, the Magic Garden. I’ve linked up our experience to this week’s City Tripping which is over with MummyTravels this week. Cathy and I got to catch up over lunch on Monday which was brilliant! Here we are complete with my daughter who clearly found the whole selfie thing a bit confusing!
It meant we actually got to choose our favourite posts from last week face to face. Here’s what we came up with.
Emm in London – Exploring Disused Aldwych Station
Becoming A Traveling Family – Alki Point Fun in the Sun in West Seattle
Fifi And Hop – The Low Down on Vatican City and Kids
Pigeon Pair and Me – London to Paris in a Day
So, onto this week’s City Tripping. A gentle reminder that this linky is for posts focusing on city travel. We try not to be too strict – one country’s city can be smaller than another country’s town, and we’re as happy with ancient cities as modern day ones, or quiet green corners of a big metropolis – but if your post doesn’t feature a city at all or is talking about escaping the city, there are some other great travel linkys where it’s a better fit. If you’re not sure, drop us a line – we’re very friendly. Honest. Thanks as ever to everyone who does link up – we always love reading your posts, and love the City Tripping community that’s built up.
As well as sharing and commenting on your posts, we will also be pinning them on our City Tripping Pinterest board so if you need any more city inspiration, be sure to check it out and follow our Pinterest board featuring past posts. Let me know if you would like an invite to pin on the board.
