Stay Tuned...

I know you all are itching for pictures and stories from Africa, and trust me...they're coming! There were a few things that had to be done before the blogging could begin, such as:

-unpacking the suitcases
-washing clothes that had been well worn for 3 weeks
-packing up to move to Atascadero
-move to Atascadero
-sort through the 1,000 pictures from Africa

But they are coming, I promise. Maybe even tomorrow!

Home Again...

37 hours later, 25 of which were spent flying on a plane, and we are home again safe and sound. I kept a journal during the trip to try to make the blogging easy. The hard job will be going through all the pictures and limiting how many I post on here.

The trip was amazing and there are tons of stories to tell and I can't wait to share them with you. For now, I need a shower and then sleep...

All my bags are packed...

...and I'm definitely ready to go! I have successfully fit everything into my bag, and am well under our 44 pound weight limit. My batteries are charged, and my finger is ready to keep pushing the button on my camera. I am feeling excited, nervous, stressed, and exhausted all at once. I think I'll feel less stressed once we get on the plane tomorrow. At least I hope so...maybe 5 hours in first class will do the trick! I'm sure I'll have plenty to blog about when we get back, and be sure to e-mail me if you want me to send you the pictures too.

I've had these stuck in my head the past couple days, so I will leave you with a taste of where we're headed...kinda...I'll probably be singing them the whole trip!






Okay, really it's just the beginning of this one, although it'd be pretty cool to see a baboon lifting up a lion cub in front of all these animals. If I see it, I'll be sure to video it and sing this song for effect.

Be back in 3 weeks! Have a great August!
