Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

We are currently on the road to Moncton to catch the first of three flights that will bring us to Cape Town. Two of the three kids are sleeping in the backseat. The first twenty minutes of this 40 hour (!) journey are going perfectly.

This is the first big trip we have taken in two years and we are feeling the effects of our break. Both Jacob and I are far more apprehensive about this trip than we have been for others. Neither of us have been able to pinpoint the exact reason – it could be simply because we are traveling to Africa with three kids four and under 🤣.

Packing and prepping for this trip was the first time I truly felt like our adventure might be impossible. I now understand why people think we are crazy to attempt this. Thankfully I know with certainty that all of the work from the past week and all the work for the next 40 hours will be completely worth it. We are headed to our home away from home. The SA sunshine and laid back life is calling our names and we are on our way.
