After a VERY busy week last week, we decided we needed to just get away, rest, and have much needed family time. We contemplated where to go and finally decided to go to South Africa’s capital city…Pretoria. Jeremy and I, after living in New Haven, both miss the city. It sounded good to go stay in a hotel and be in the city again! We went with no planned itinerary (even me “Miss Plan Everything Ahead Of Time!”) and just did things as we felt like it! Our itinerary helps explain all the pictures!
