Most controversial thing about the holiday
Not taking the in-laws with us. They're still a bit awkward about it but it was great family time for our little family.
Best meal
Thava at The Boat House. Thava is my favourite restaurant here in Jhb (I ask for all my mother's day and anniversary meals there) so it was one of the things I wanted to do down there.
Now that we've been, we will go every time.
Oh, we had naan bread, chicken korma and chicken biryani.
Most memorable food
The softest Portuguese rolls ever at Foodzone near our apartment. I only bought 6 - we had fried eggs one lunch time - and we all regretted not having more :)
Speaking about that Foodzone, the kids had never seen so many chocolates and sweets all in one place (poor "deprived" kids :))
Best idea
Using Uber and not renting a car!
Most disappointing news
That the house sale fell through :(
Favourite games
Ludo, dominoes and pick up sticks
Best thing I brought along
After my camera and Kindle, my bullet journal. I got used to messing it up on this holiday.
Kendra's favourite thing to do
Go for an adventure (running around inside the complex all by herself). Her father was a bit freaked but I was fine with it.
Of course, Connor couldn't WAIT til she got back to go adventuring together with her.
Connor's favourite thing to do
Walk on the boardwalk every day, and climbing rocks
Favourite things to watch on TV
Some soccer tournament (help me!) and WIMBLEDON!
Best things taken with us
Washing powder, jeans and sweatshirts. It was COLD!
Sweetest thing about the kids
Connor reading Kendra bedtime stories.
Best thing about the weather
Grey skies (TONS!) - usually we only get a day or two. This time we had many, many days and I have many, many amazing photos.
Next best thing about the weather
Tea, cuddling, reading, more tea, biscuits, etc.
Worst thing
D being sick for nearly the entire holiday :(
Best money saver
Seriously, Uber! I have a whole post on this for the Organising Queen blog next week.
Best beach read
Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe
Favourite photo of the kids

Best photo of palm trees :)
Which is your favourite photo? And highlight?
I just love this post... I love that you take yourselves on holiday and have a good break, it is just fantastic!!! And making memories, just the best!!! Love your grey skies and mini-adventures!!!
ReplyDelete:) Our conversation strengthened my resolve with the in-laws :)
DeleteBut yes! I adore holidays.
Love the quick roundup :-) Really should try Thava...never eaten there. Love the pic of the "birds".
ReplyDeleteLove the round up of the holiday, sorry that D was sick. We've never eaten at Thava...really should give it a try. Love the pic of the "birds".
ReplyDeleteYou should go - it is DELISH food and not very expensive at all.
DeleteHolidays ftw!
ReplyDeleteOh boy I love that birds photo of the kids - it is seriously one of those priceless ones. The sad thing is from the 5 days we were on holiday I was very sick for 2. I guess one can not plan that.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo too. I actually said to them, "what are you two doing?" We are birds". Now what do you say to that? Okay, then, little birds :)
DeleteFavorite thing for me is you going away without the in-laws. One needs time away from it all sometimes...
ReplyDeletePoor D. It must have been horrible being sick while on holiday.
Love all the pictures...
Uber is just the best (when there is no risk of being attacked in Sand.ton)
I love those swimsuits! I wish I could find something like that here. I struggle to find suits that aren't too revealing (for my taste). I can easily find the tops, but the bottoms are usually tiny (bikini bottoms) or "shorts" that FALL OFF my slim kiddos. Ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI've had great success with Uber when I've traveled for business...such a great and flexible option!
How clever to uber around! I like the birds pic! And I need to get my A into G with holidays too. Forgot to pay deposit on that December thing. Think I have lost out but will call.
ReplyDeleteOh how clever to use Uber (and I see I said the same thing as Julia) especially since you aren't on a sightseeing holiday!
