As the days lengthen and the temperature rises, our thoughts begin to turn to spring and the many spring festivals that celebrate the coming season. The Canadian Tulip Festival is one such celebration which will be held in Ottawa, Canada from May 6-23, 2011. The Canadian Tulip Festival is now in its 59th year and has grown to become the largest Tulip Festival in the world.
Copenhagen, Denmark
I have posted a trip report about the time that we spent in Copenhagen, Denmark during our 2009 summer vacation. We spent three days in the city prior to leaving on a 10 day Baltic cruise and one day post-cruise. Copenhagen is a vibrant capital city that provided a wonderful introduction to Europe for my children. The central part of Copenhagen is compact and easy to navigate on foot and there is a wide range of activities available to suit any family from palaces to amusement parks to canal cruises.
New York City Itinerary
It is just a little more than a week until we leave for our spring break trip to New York City so it is high time that I sort out our itinerary. We have about 4 1/2 days in the city and, of course, there is always a plethora of choices when it comes to NYC. Our family has been to New York City on two previous occasions both over the Christmas/New Years holiday period.

Two Weeks in Provence
I've posted a trip report about our holiday in the south of France last summer. We rented a villa in Gordes and spent two weeks exploring the region. We wandered picture-perfect French villages, had a history lesson as we explored Roman ruins, ate the most amazing food al fresco, shopped for the perfect mementos and soaked up the French language. At the end of our vacation I was envying Peter Mayle, who wrote A Year in Provence, because two weeks was definitely not enough.
