a holiday inside a holiday

Jenny, Neville and Melissa were more than willing to watch the boys while we took a 24 hour break from parenthood in a lovely hotel in Camps Bay, which is a must-see beach in Cape Town.  A gorgeous, groomed beach, picture perfect views of the mountain range called the Twelve Apostles, cute shops, and the perfect restaurant or cafe at every turn make this place a favorite among locals and tourists (I wrote that even though it sounds like I took it out of Lonely Planet.  The boys stayed with Jenny and Neville and Melissa drove us to the hotel, visited the boys the next day, then collected us in the afternoon.  Thank you Attridge family for the little holiday inside our holiday
