4 Day Weekend in Tofinho Beach

Nice to finally get away with another family for pure rest and relaxation. Aside from a 7 hour drive each way we had a blast in the sun, eating out and playing in the sand, water and scuba diving. Saw whales breaching the ocean right from our house and noticed many dolphines out near our scuba boat.

 

Trip to Swaziland in the Rain

Couple Shots from Trip to Swaziland

Unfortunately I increased the quality size of the photos so am unable to post a majority of great shots from our first official vacation which was only 5 days and 4 nights in a lodge in Swaziland in the middle of one of the animal parks. Was perfect with non predatory animals so we were able to hike 2 days and be reminded of how much we miss the routine that used to be part of most our weekends in DC (Rock Creek Park).

But on the upside we saw many Zebra, Gazels, Antelope, Alligators and even some distant Hippos. Adi loved being close to nature and we enjoyed traditional dance shows, a sunset 4x4 trip, visit to local glass factory, walk around botanical gardens and BBQing around the cabin.

Back in Mozambique

While we were in D.C we could always count on daycare to hire a professional photographer and have at least few good Christmas card type shots of Adi. This year, with no such assistance, we tried it ourselves. We took countless pictures of him, of course always on the go, and the photos below are the results of our work (don’t ask how many we had to delete). On the way we took a picture of ourselves to document the moment. Nonetheless, Adi is as cute, full of energy and funny faces, as ever….….

 

 

 

 

Back in Mozambique, our adventures and trips continue. Last weekend we ventured to a safari park, 40 minutes drive from the city. And while we had no expectation to see any animals, five minutes after we started to drive around, we ran into a giraffe family, a zebra and later on few antelopes. It was definitely worth it. Around the lodge, the owner had more than four peacocks.  Adi enjoyed watching animals in their natural habitat. Although at one point, when we wanted to go out of the car and see giraffes and zebra from close, he choose to stay in the car, and even duck in below the seat. With daddy’s support he braved and went to see them from up close
