City Tripping #44

This week marks a huge milestone for us…Mrs T starts school! It’s crazy how quickly it has come around and it only feels like yesterday that we celebrated her fourth birthday at Peppa Pig World. Well, it was last month to be precise. She’s going to be one of the youngest in her class. Bless. Having said that, I do think she’s ready for the change and she seems to be looking forward to it. I know I am going to find it emotional dropping her off for the first time to start her education for at least the next 12 years.

Over the weekend we put on our City Tripping shoes and went exploring the legacy left by the London Olympics in Stratford. It was a fascinating walk around the area and I’ll be writing a post on it soon but here’s one of the photos I took of the Olympic Park and Sir Anish Kapoor’s ArcelorMittal Orbit sculpture where you can now ride its slide.

How about you. Where have you been? I am looking forward to hearing about your city-related travels. This week I am linking up my post on 36 hours in Oslo. The linky is over with Cathy at MummyTravels this week. If you haven’t already, take a look at the competition I am running for a wrap-style baby carrier, KangaWrap – an item I have found invaluable on my city jaunts.

Our favourites from last week’s City Tripping edition were.

Lou Message – Scratching the surface of Biarritz
Baby GlobeTrotters – Insider Tips for San Diego’s Top 5 Family Attractions
Tooting Mama – Rodin Sculpture Garden, Paris
Fifi and Hop – New York Water Taxi: Best Way To See The City

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.

What Is City Tripping?

City Tripping is the place to come and link up your city-related travel 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 or it’s 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 – as long as it is city-related travel.

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.
