Empty Nest: The European Tour: Stuttgart

The European Tour: Stuttgart

Not my tour. DoodleBug's. Because opportunities fall into the lap of the lovelies but not their mother.

So, I travel vicariously.

DoodleBug and Gibbsterrific (friend and roomie) had this trip thrust upon them by the generosity of friends and Gibbs' dad. Must. Be. Nice.

I wouldn't know, personally.

These two girls enjoyed Europe for 21 days. Twenty-one.

Lucky. Ducks.

The first leg of the journey took them to Stuttgart, Germany where they spent 7 days nannying for two little darlings belonging to friends.

Please forgive the fact that the video/song will just cut off at the end. It took me forever to get this thing going with the music...the last slideshow I made was on my computer not this poopy headed thing I'm using until I get a new one.

Next, Zurich and the Alps! Stay tuned!

Sounds like a good deal - do some nanny work and get an international trip from it. Most of my trips were (no more :( were business and picked up by a company. It typically worked out well but not always.
nice pics

awww...the life of the young and beautiful! Looks like your daughter loved those little cuties. I'd pay to have someone love and care for my children like that!

Wouldn't that be lovely. I'm here too, anyone, in case you're giving away trips to Europe to not-quite-so-young and not-quite-so-lovelies. lol

How fantastic for them!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
