The 2025 Morgan Europe Trip

 May 24, 2025   A Lazy RAINY Day. The weather we were expecting and packed for finally arrived. We had a day of on and off rain that affected when we planned our outings and how many for the day.

 May 22, 2025   Aaron to the Edinburgh Airport 😘 Our time with Aaron had come to a close. He was gracious enough to be Rod's navigator in the front seat during most of his time in Scotland, thereby giving me the opportunity to move to the back seat with Paul and Clare and enjoy a sightseeing role. Thank you Aaron!   See you in a week! xoxo He looks ready to navigate his international trip home all alone. We did some shopping on and off all day and spent time in King's Park sitting on a bench people/dog watching and enjoying the weather. After a tuna melt dinner at home, we played Nertz and watched some Young Sheldon before turning in.  Clare and Paul Rod Old people selfie time! Clare did some sketching and Rod did some exploring.
