In honor of our 5th Anniversary year, we decided to splurge on a two week vacation in Tanzania. The first week we took on the tallest mountain in Africa: Kilimanjaro. We can confidently say this was the biggest physical challenge we have faced yet! The second week entailed exploring the island of Zanzibar. From the spice farms to the white sandy beaches we are now sufficiently restored back to health. Our time in Tanzania was memorable indeed! We are grateful for all that we experienced, and for sharing it with each other.
