    Disney California Adventure…

    April 26, 2015 /

    After our visit to New Orleans, our next stop was Los Angeles, California. Our plans included visiting the city, going to the coast, and going to nearby Disney parks in Ananhein. It may be my innocence or just lack of knowledge, but I didn’t know until recently that Disneyland is the original park, planned by Walt Disney, there in the early 50s (while the Florida complex only opened in 1971). There are two parks in the region, Disneyland that opened in 1955 and Disney California Adventures, opened in 2001. Following the weather forecast, we booked the first 2 days in the region, to visit the parks. But to make up…

    New Orleans , Louisiana | Family travel

    April 10, 2015 /

    You’ve done more than a month of our crazy tour of the States and I’m still at the beginning of our adventure. Well, after Atlanta, we flew to New Orleans, Louisiana.  The city made headlines in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina passed through there. At the time, about 80% of the city was flooded, and in some places with about 4.6 m of water. The famous neighborhood called the French Quarter was almost all spared the worst of the hurricane. After almost 10 years, what remained are, among other things, the vibrant atmosphere and unique architecture of the city. Lots of music, art, cuisine and crafts through the streets and establishments,…

    Atlanta | Georgia, Georgia

    March 21, 2015 /

    Downtown Atlanta in the background… Just because we’re kind of crazy, we packed our bags and put the family that just grew up on a tour of the United States, taking advantage of some of Diego’s work commitments, knowing 4+ American cities. I’ll write a special post about traveling with children (especially so small), so I’m going straight to the cities. The first city on the list was Atlanta in the state of Georgia, about 3hours flight from here from Ottawa (only there is no direct flight from here…). We stayed 2 and a half days there and managed to get a good look at the city. Atlanta has about…

    San Francisco – California | Part I

    October 30, 2014 /

    Oh California! This was our first time on the American West Coast (well, Diego had been there for a day…) and in the most populous state of the States… San Francisco was our destination this time and as Diego’s parents, Ari and Lourdes, would be visiting us here in Canada for that day, we arranged a family trip this time. The day after our arrival, Sunday, we were able to have the whole family together and that’s when we tried to gather the largest number of important outings (since the rest of the days we wouldn’t have Diego to accompany us due to a conference). Needless to say, the city…

    San Antonio – Texas

    October 19, 2014 /

    As I said in the previous post about Texas, we set up a quick last minute visit to San Antonio, about 1h 20 minutes from Austin. We usually studied the cities we were going to visit, but as San Antonio was decided at the time, we were kind of in the dark about what we were going to visit and where we would walk. Arriving in downtown San Antonio, we informed ourselves of a boat ride through the River Walk Canal which was a super good surprise! Very friendly, you can both walk along the canal and make the guided boat trip! The River Walk is a canal one level…

    Austin – Texas – Part II

    October 5, 2014 /

    Following our tours through Austin, we spent most of the day at Zilker Park (see previous post – Austin Part I here). We made a strategic stop for a beautiful view of downtown Austin at Rock Point inside the park. View of Zilker Park from Rock Point – this park is great! Lou Neff Point Lookout on the edge of Zilker Park Lou Neff Point – Downtown Austin and Colorado River Barton Springs – Public natural pool – too bad you couldn’t get in, the line was huge! Playground near Barton Springs pool Quick drive – by car – on Congress Avenue – One of the most famous streets in…
