The Ladies

It's interesting.  When you clear your calendar because you think you're going to Jamaica, and the trip gets cancelled, life is really boring!  We're watching old Blue Bloods shows in between eating and drinking.  Exciting stuff.

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

 Our next grandchild adventure was with Sarah-Jean and Reggie.  Sarah-Jean missed her age 12 trip because at that time she couldn't decide what she wanted to do.  It was actually Reggie's turn when Sarah-Jean said that she wanted to see the stars in the sidewalk in Hollywood and Reggie excitedly agreed.

So we flew to Las Vegas where they found an exciting ride......

...........and where we rented a car and headed out.  Next stop, Hoover Dam..........

The girls found their own way of enjoying the tour.

We spent the 4th of July in Vegas.

Then on to the Eagle rock feature at the Grand Canyon.....

.....and flying with the birds.

Then the Verde Valley train excursion.

Short time-outs for misbehaving.

After a promise of good behaviour, a trail ride in Jerome.

Swimming along a famous route.

The girls and I chose to do the Skywalk, while Mardi preferred to be the photographer.

An oasis in the desert near Palm Springs.

And date shakes.  Yummm!

At Coronado Beach near San Diego - is it OK if we just get our feet wet?

Sure!

After we bought towels and dried off it was on to the San Diego zoo........

...................for a nice family photo!

Then to L.A. for the piece de resistance.

Grandma joined in for a swim at the Santa Monica beach.

Hollywood - some movie sets are pretty realistic.

On to the Hearst estate.  Thought we were back in Africa!

Reggie appeared to be growing a new branch.

On to the Monterey Peninsula.......

For every adventure, I tried to include an inspirational message.  This was taken in an ancient Redwood forest south of San Francisco.

It's sort of my motto too.

Next, San Francisco itself.

Did I mention that since both of them are a bit crazy they got along just fine!

A ride on a cable car was a must.

On to Oakland for a Blue Jays game.

A final swim.

And finally, back to Vegas.

At the airport, the ladies found ways to fill in the time........

.............one more risky than the others.

And finally, the CN tower came into view.

Grandma and Grandpa managed to keep up with the girls.

A fun trip for all of us.

Stay well.
