AN AFRICAN ANNIVERSARY

Jake and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary on 21 December.  Jake however was in the USA, while I was in South Africa, so we didn't get to celebrate it in any way. When Jake arrived in SA, things were crazy with Christmas plans and family get-togethers etc, so there just never seemed to be a time where we could go out together and have our own little celebration. I then decided to make reservations at 'Boesmanland Plaas Kombuis' in Langebaan. Langebaan is about 1 hour 20 minutes up the west coast, and Boesmanland Plaas Kombuis (Bushman Land Farm Kitchen - is about the direct English translation) is a restaurant right on the beach, that does things in a very simplistic, African way, with very traditional South African food. I have never been, and Jake hasn't eaten a lot of traditional South African 'boerekos' as we call it, so I thought it would be an experience for both of us to enjoy.

So did he like it?? That picture looks like he's picking at it rather than enjoying it. :)

How fun!! I bet you loved the warm weather, I am so ready for summer. I really do not like Michigan winters. I bought the avent tempo bottles and I am excited to try them out. Thanks for all the help!
