High Tea at Cape Grace, Cape Town


This past Sunday was our daughter's 21st birthday! Jessica is a student at the University of Cape Town, so we took her out for high tea at the Cape Grace Hotel. It's a 5 star luxury hotel right on Cape Town's famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Hubby made all the arrangements (it was his idea), but his mom wanted to pay, so it was her treat too. She also baked Jessica a cake that morning! All four of our kids were there (Jeremiah, Jessica, Samantha, and Amanda) and two of Jessica's closest friends. Only my father-in-law couldn't make it because he just recently came out of hospital and is still recovering.

William was our friendly server for the afternoon. He poured the sparkling wine and Amanda's Appletiser, which is a sparkling fruit juice. I tried to capture the moments with candid shots as much as possible. There was a steampunk vibe in the adjoining rooms. Look closely at the chairs and the chandelier and you'll notice the quirky decor. You can click on the images to make them larger.

The Scratch Patch in Simon's Town


We love visiting The Scratch Patch in Simon's Town. Our kids were shopping for Christmas presents one year and spent half the day at their two shops choosing gifts. There are a variety of items to choose from, ranging from affordable to expensive. The kids chose well with the money they had, even chipping in together to buy their American grandparents the perfect souvenir. These photos are from that day. For some reason, only Amanda is in these pics.

I've included photos taken on the fly as we left Simon's Town and drove through Kalk Bay and also a bit of the coast. If you want to see my previous post on The Scratch Patch then you can visit Simon's Town - Part 1 and photos of our gems that we've collected from there on Tumbled Gemstones.

The Grosvenor Guest House, Simon's Town

Siblings: Jeremiah, Amanda, Samantha, and Jessica

In Decemeber 2017 we did some touring of the Western Cape with my mom and stepdad. I am still sharing features from that visit, because we did so much, but I always have new things to show you too! So, here are photos of our lovely stay at The Grosvenor Guest House in Simon's Town, Cape Town. I have one more post for Simon's Town and then after that I'll share pictures of a wine estate from a few weeks ago.
