My B-day Weekend


For my birthday my aunt took me up to the crater(it is a national reserve so it would be going on safari). So the weekend before my birthday we went up to this lodge called Gibbs Farm which is a farm/lodge that is just a little outside of the park. it is a two and a half hour drive to get there and we brought Aki. He didn't like the ride very much but we worked it all out. When we got to the lodge we decided to just relax a little because the drive had been a long one. The room we had was a nice sized room with a deck overlooking banana trees and other plants. The bathroom/shower area was very nice and there was a door that took you outside to a shower that was an out door one. Over all I really liked it. Once we had settled down in there and fed Aki we decided we would wait and go into the game park the next day on the way out so we spent about an hour or so just relaxing and reading until we decided to go and sit outside near the main building. From where we sat we could see over a large portion of the farm and noticed a path that led through the farm a little. After being there for a little and eating popcorn (that was nice because i had been wanting popcorn for a while) we decided to go for a walk on that trail. We only went for like 30 minutes but it was a very fun 30 minutes. (I like hiking) Once we got back to the room we fed Aki again then put him to bed and then headed out to dinner, leaving Twiga to babysit. I found that I liked the leek soup (who would guess that) and the fish was ok. When we where done we went back to the room and went to sleep after feeding Twiga. The next day we were getting ready to go to the park when we remembered why the plan had been to go to the park the day we got there...they don't let dogs into the parks and we had Twiga. So we decided that we would forgo the park so we went down for breakfast. I really liked breakfast, it had pineapple and cereal and other fruit that where really good. after breakfast we hopped in the car and where headed home. the drive back was better because Aki slept for parts so he cried less. Over all the weekend was a lot of fun and a great way to spend a birthday weekend.
