What’s Not to Love?! Leleshwa Camp & Siana Conservancy, Kenya

July 31, 2015 By Heather

Let's just put this first. I loved Leleshwa. Leleshwa is what I think of when I think of a quintessential safari camp. Small, luxurious, and welcoming. Of course it didn't hurt that we were the only guests there at the time. Even though it was the cusp of their high season, … [Read more...]

The Dark Side Won: Star Wars Day at Nationals Park!

July 28, 2015 By Heather

I watched some of the Star Wars movies growing up, and while I liked them, I wasn't a "fan" per se. Now, if you know dear husband...and if you know me...you can probably guess we agree on like 20% of movies. On a good day. So seeing a movie is a battle, at best. I hate stupid … [Read more...]

Dik-diks, Giraffes, and Sundowners: Amboseli National Park & Tortilis Camp (Part 2)

July 21, 2015 By Heather

See Part 1 for Cats, Birds, and Ellies! Amboseli spoiled us a bit, as we were not expecting to see as much as we did. Including some dik-diks, which were totally unexpected but very much appreciated! Interestingly, Tortilis Camp does have an electric fence surrounding it. … [Read more...]

Hasa Diga Eebowai: The Book of Mormon at The Kennedy Center, Washington DC

July 17, 2015 By Heather

I know, I KNOW. I am years behind the eight-ball here. The Book of Mormon came out in 2011 to critical acclaim. It also took us about 5 years to see Wicked, so I guess we are right on course. Anyway, we missed The Book of Mormon last year at the Kennedy Center because it … [Read more...]
