nine days with nanny nancy...

one thing's for sure...I said a while back that I thought the rest of the weeks here would fly...and they are doing just that. The past nine days have been some of the fastest but were packed with lots of fun with Nanny. My mama came into town last Sunday and left today. We had so much fun with her and are praying for her safe travels back to GA now.
Our week with Nanny was the most beautiful one yet. We had lots of sunny days which made for more good times on the beach and touring around. Lots of the places that we visited were places that E and I had already been but are must-sees here. On Saturday, we started out at one of my favorite spots, the Old Biscuit Mill and Neighborhood Goods Mkt, where we got our bellies full of yummy breakfast quiches and omelets. Then, we headed to Stellenbosch, a mountain town about 45 minutes outside of Cape Town. It's also wine country so it's full of beautiful vineyards. We spent some time at the Treasury Market there, where the sidewalks are lined with amazing foods, flowers and handmade goods. We found ourselves loitering around the cheese and olive tables...oh, and the bread and fudge tables (and maybe a few more :-) The markets have definitely been one of my most favorite things about this place and I was glad that Mama really enjoyed it too.
Another new destination for us this week was Charly's Bakery in town. Apparently, the bakery has been spotlighted in lots of well-known magazines and enjoyed by lots of famous peeps. We stopped by late this morning to enjoy some coffee and sweet treats before Mama left...Mama and I had the most massive blueberry muffins ever and E had a chocolate cupcake with cherries on top in honor of the ole' hometown, Cville. It was the perfect ending to a special week. Thanks, Nanny, for coming all this way to spend time with us...we had a lot of fun and miss you already. XOXO
