Iâm the passenger princess! Treat me like royalty because YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO DRIVE TODAY. Man Ken had me picking her up after work, taking her places in traffic, I said enough, it took her a month to have the courage to drive. Sheâs okay, she does drift to the right sometimes though đ
Closing out our safari content with all the best memories as a family, now we have to add this to Pinterest because it was hard finding black families as inspiration. Letâs encourage more families to explore Africaâs beauty!
