Chloe

We're down to our last grandchild trip - I wish there were more, but apparently it's too late for that!  

This was Grandma and Chloe's trip to France and Italy.  Some of the dialogue is in Mardi's words and I will put that in quotations so it can be acknowledged.

 --------------------------------------

"Wow, I have only been home from a trip of a lifetime with Reggie, Sarah-Jean and Bud to the Western US states for 8 days.  Now I am busy doing laundry, packing and checking to make sure I have not forgotten anything for my trip with Chloe.  Only 5 more sleeps. Who would not be excited to spend a couple of weeks with this gorgeous athlete?"

"On our way to our apartment we were both amazed at the architecture and beauty of the old buildings in the old Paris.

We have the cutest little apartment through Airbnb.  The view is amazing and our host left a huge bottle of water to share and a split of wine FOR ME!"

 Gramma splurged for a ride to the Metro. 

Turns out that all of our grandkids like having fun.  Hamming it up with the swans at the Lido......

.....and nose to nose with art work.

The Eiffel Tower was a highlight for Chloe, which she reached by Segway.  Grandma doesn't like bicycles, but seems perfectly comfortable on a Segway.

Chloe posed for the following picture for her dad's benefit.

After a few days in France, they headed for Italy.  

Chloe was perfectly legal to ride a Segway in France, but in Rome the duo got busted - must be 16.  Chloe was afraid that Grandma was headed for jail.

In Florence, they saw the guy with the big hands.....

.....after which a Gelato was required for recovery.

Next up was the Vatican.......

Where Chloe met up with a Swiss guard.

There were lots more pictures in Mardi's album but we'll close with this one.

"Happy to be home Chloe?  It sure looks like it.  Mom was sure glad to see you safe and sound and Ethan wanted to hear all about your trip"

"It was a super time with a beautiful young lady and I would not trade one moment of this trip.  

Thanks for being gracious and sweet for the entire trip Chloe.  It was a pleasure for me."

And so ended our grandchild adventures.

Stay well.
