  • Our first as four

    Well here we go again. We’ve certainly been on many adventures (Mexico, New Orleans, Malta+ Euro road trip, and a couple of South African visits) since this was last updated but I felt it was time to start recording it again. Mostly because I have mom-brain and forget everything. We…

  • London!

    Finally. I have always wanted to go to England, and London specifically. I have no real reason for wanting to go, but it has always been on my bucket list, and surprisingly high on the list as well. We had less than 48 hours in the city, it was really…

  • The Big Five

  • The Places You’ll Go & The People You’ll Meet

  • Diani, I love you

    After leaving Nairobi we headed to the coast for some much anticipated time on the beach. We boarded a night bus, again, and headed west to the Indian Ocean. We had heard great things about Kenya’s coast and it lived up to all it’s hype. Our original plan was to…

  • You Had Me At Running Water

    Our next stop after Ethiopia was Kenya where we spent three days wandering around Nairobi. We immediately saw a huge difference between Kenya and Ethiopia, or rather Nairobi and Addis Ababa. It was a bit of a relief really for us to be in Kenya and back to a ‘developed’…
