What else can one want besides a Family Vacation!! And that's what we did in the last week of June. Myself, my hubby and my lovely daughter on a trip to Canada. It was just mind blowing. Four cities in a week; Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City. And one better than the other.

Our trip had the following things covered:

Toronto - Niagara Falls, An old friends place, CN Tower, Casa Loma, Eaton Center
Montreal - Olympic Stadium, St. Patrick's Basilica,
Ottawa - The Rideau Canal, Parliament
Quebec City - Old City

I guess these were the best attractions that anyone can cover in a week, that too with a less that 1 year old kid. And my favorite was Niagara Falls. That's the most amazing natural place a person can go to to admire the beauty of it.

Hopefully, we will get another chance to visit Canada in near Future.

We recently visited New Orleans, for our 2nd Anniversary. It's the place where Katrina had hit 2 years back.

Wow, what a place!! A place which has come up so nicely with respect to Looks, Visitors, an old city experience, etc. It has come up really well after the disaster.

We went walking to French Quarters and that place really made me remember my home country, India. Tarot and Palm readers, Painters and sketchers, food joints all around. That was a wonderful experience. We got our Portrait done, and I got Tarot reading done too. It was fun I must say. I do believe in astrology, Tarot Reading, Palm Reading, zodiacs, etc. and seriously Tarot reading was really true for me.

Anyways, The city was wonderful, we had a wonderful experience and our anniversary went nicely. That's what we wanted.

I have just started reading this book and already liking it. This book has 50 points on the ways to live the Good Life.

Now, what is good life? Well, according to me, good life means, being healthy, tension free, joyful, playful, and doing everything positively. The meaning of Good Life is not limited to only these, but it means much more.

Alexandra Stoddard, in her book, has explained just that. She has explained the 50 ways to live the Good Life very beautifully, briefly and precisely. To know what she has written, you should definitely get a hold of the book.

WE just happen to go to Arkansas (pronounced as Ark-an-saw), and on the way we pass through the city HOPE. It was really surprising for me to know that the former President of U.S., Mr. Bill Clinton was born here. Its a very small city. But really beautiful. Below is some information on Hope provided by http://www.arkansas.com/city-listings/city_detail/city/Hope/

This small town in Southwest Arkansas has two claims to fame:
it is the birthplace of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and it showcases some of the world's largest watermelons. The Clinton Center preserves Clinton’s first home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open for tours. The city’s restored Missouri-Pacific Railroad depot serves as the Hope Visitor Center and Museum and contains local history exhibits and railroad memorabilia. Each August, visitors to the Hope Watermelon Festival sample slices of ice-cold watermelon and view huge melons grown for competition. Nearby Old Washington Historic State Park is a restoration village preserving the 19th-century town of Washington, which figured prominently in Arkansas and Southwest U.S. history. Evidence suggests that Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin and others plotted Texas’ revolution for independence from Mexico while staying in the town. Washington also served as the state’s Confederate capital after Little Rock was captured by Union troops during the Civil War.
