For Mom and Dad's 4th wedding anniversary they took me to the beach south of Dar es Salaam. We stayed at the Amani Beach Hotel (www.amanibeach.com) Amani means "Peace" in Swahili, which is what I think M&D were searching for during the weekend. The hotel was beautiful, but I'm thinking of putting in a complaint of ageism, since I wasn't allowed at dinner and had to stay in with a babysitter. I guess it didn't matter too much, though, since I always poop out around 7pm anyways. Mom said the dinner was open air under the stars and beautiful. I think I smelled champagne on their her breath when she kissed me goodnight............
At the end of the weekend we made friends with the partners invested in the hotel. They come from the DR Congo, where M&D used to live. We visited their home (straight from the 1960's) and everyone had a drink on the porch talking about Congolese politics in some weird language that I couldn't understand. I think it was french, which isn't fair, since I'm still trying to get a handle on English.
hanging w/Mom on the beach - hey, these hands look really interesting........
Dad's favorite place to nap is by the pool. My favorite place to nap is on dad. Check out my cool wetsuit!

Swimming with Mom - we saw several leafy scorpion fish and had to come out of the water!
There was no shade so Mom put me down in this nifty tent bed my cousin Carrie gave me. Comfy!
