Smash Book Travel Album
Last summer I had the great opportunity to travel to South Africa with my extended family. It was an amazing trip and I’d go back again in a second! You can read about my trip here, if you’re curious.
Before I left, I knew that I wanted to document my trip as it happened. I find that so many details get lost if you try and remember a trip afterwards.

Ten things I loved about South Africa
I’ve started and stopped this post several times in the last 6 weeks. I don’t know if it’s the lack of a “quiet house” this summer or a serious case of writers block, but I couldn’t figure out how to best share my South African experience with you. Finally I decided rather than a “play by play” I’d share some of my favorite photos and experiences about our trip there. Most are taken by me or my daughter, with a few instagrams thrown in.
South Africa
I returned this week from what I’m sure is the most amazing place I’ve EVER been.
To be honest when I found out we were going to South Africa (as part of a trip with several members of our extended family), I was not sure what to expect.
I purposely did very little research before we left. I didn’t want unrealistic expectations to ruin my experience there.
and I will say it was quite an experience!!!
