We made it to Africa, our 6th continent. Our main goal was to hike Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa and thus one of the Seven Summits. While we were in the neighborhood, we went on safari in the Serengeti and saw incredible wildlife! Click on a picture below to go to a gallery.

Spring was a great chance to visit some of the California national parks that we hadn't made it to yet: Sequoia, King's Canyon, and Redwoods. All of these featured really big trees, but otherwise were really different. We also spent a weekend down in San Diego.
