After we spent three days in Samburu, we took about a 2 hour drive to Borana. Borana Conservancy lies at the foot of Mount Kenya in the Laikipia area. We so loved our time in Samburu, so we were a little worried about leaving. Would we have as good of a time? Would we see as many animals? Extraordinary Journeys planned out our three days at ...

Warrior Academy
Our last day in Samburu was such a special day. Saruni Samburu has guides that are a part of one of the oldest remaining tribes in Africa. The Samburu people are loving, welcoming, and so helpful. They welcomed us into one of their villages to that we could learn about their nomadic way of life. They welcomed us with songs, dances, and lots ...
Saruni Samburu Day 2
Day 2 in Samburu is now one that I will never ever forget. We woke up around 6:30am for a morning drive around Samburu National Reserve. We were having such a wonderful morning. We had seen so many animals and had a beautiful breakfast by the river. We had baboons walking right past us, elephants come up to drink, and watched crocodiles in the ...
Saruni Samburu Day 1
Now that we are back from our trip {and have wi-fi again} we can share pictures from our time spent in Kenya! For our first three nights we stayed at Saruni Samburu. Saruni Samburu is a lodge that overlooks Kalama Conservancy. We had beautiful views right from our back porch. Honestly, we had no idea what to expect during our safari trips. ...
Kenya Trip: Our Day in Nairobi
Today was a busy, busy day. It was our first full day in Kenya. We got A LOT packed in... Giraffe Manor to feed the giraffes, local market to pick up fabric and souvenirs, visit to a zoo, lunch, tour of a beading factory, and baby elephant sanctuary! I would NEVER suggest anyone do that much in one day, but it was our only day in Nairobi. Also, ...
Turks & Caicos
Two up front things before I jump in: 1. This was easily one of our favorite vacation destinations ever! 2. Along with that... This is one of the most expensive places we've traveled! We'll get into that in the post. We traveled there in March and June of 2015. There are a few different places you can stay when traveling to the Turks. We ...
Disney After Hours
Let's talk about Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios. Disney sells a limited number of "special event tickets" at certain times throughout the year. You can use the ticket to stay in the park after everyone else has to leave. Since they only sell a limited number of tickets, the park is nearly empty, you can ride all the rides, and grabbing ...
Disney 2019
We went to Disney again! Are you surprised? Probably not. It's one of our favorite places to go as a family. Our kids are at the PERFECT Disney age. I think I say that at every age, but there is just something wonderful about walking through Disney without strollers, backpacks, or extra things weighing you down. Also being able to walk ...
All Aboard! Disney Cruise
Well, I'm a little late to posting this, but I wanted to share a little more about our Disney Cruise that we took over Thanksgiving Break! Jared and I have been on many many cruises throughout our marriage. We love Royal Caribbean, but we LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE Disney Cruises. They literally do every single thing right. The decorations, service, ...
Visiting Santa on the Disney Cruise
When we heard that Santa would be on our Disney cruise, we could not have been more thrilled! He came out for a Christmas party, Christmas Story, and for Pictures with Santa. The kids LOVED getting to spend so much time with him! Our two took a good 7-8 minutes of his time. They had a lot to talk about :) Israel asked for a BIG T-Rex, Chewy ...
