July 6, 2012 July 6, 2013 It will take a miracle to meet last year’s numbers, but at least our Facebook fans are still increasing.
We’re getting closer.
Much like The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, The Inferno was a fun read.
Other then Devin stepping on the scorching hot grill and barbecuing his foot, it was a great 4th.
As long as George is around, I will never be a favorite uncle.
I never said it had to be a good beer. We messed up the yeast part of the equation which resulted in a flat, bitter brew.
Although I think it would’ve been a cool project, remembering to take a one second video every day became too much of burden.
Thank you for introducing me to nature and sparking my love for animals. I probably never would have cared to travel to Africa if it wasn’t for you.
Happy Birthday to my Aunt Ona. Thank you for teaching me and giving me everything most adults at the time deemed inappropriate. Love you.

We met with a local farmer who invited us to his home and showed us around his poultry farm. He and his sons seemed genuinely happy to have us and gave us…
Poolside at Singita Sabora Tented Camp, Tanzania.
Best wifi hotspot ever. Back from the spa. Lunch. Siesta. Happy hour at the balloon basket bar.

Safari time.
Breakfast, then the drive to the Sabora Tented Camp on the Serengeti Plains for our final three nights. Spot the giraffes.
It’s been rated the number one hotel in the world by several top publications over the last five years. Easy to see why with the turn down service alone. It was first class service and luxury, but we’re excited to get back down on the plains.
This is not getting old.
