More From an Epic Family Vacation

It was less than a week ago that my parents boarded their plane for their loooong journey home. Already it feels so long ago that we were all gallivanting around South Africa hanging out with leopards in the park and ostriches on the beach.

Our 3-week South African tour was truly wonderful. I wanted to show them why a person like me who enjoys her family and home so much would choose to live so very far away. I think after the umpteenth gorgeous place we visited they got it. They fell for my adopted home too, and already I feel much more at ease just knowing that they now have a picture in their heads of where I live and why. 

Here are some shots from our time in always-gorgeous Cape Town.

I miss these three peas in my pod.
