Chicago Again then Wilmington, DE

 The Charleston International Airport has been going through an upgrade over the past couple of years and is starting to take shape.  Gone is much of the old brown carpet and low ceilings.  New terminals and baggage claim shoots are opening up and I'm looking forward to the finish.  They will actually have TSA Pre-check lanes and seating area with power charging stations.

Taking off for Chicago

 

Flying over the Arthur Ravenel Bridge

Then leaving Chicago and headed to Wilmington, DE for the start of vacation!!  It took six cities in one day to get there; Chicago, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Philadelphia and then Wilmington, DE but all worth it to see Tyler, Gabrielle and Mimi who was prepped for my visit in her "What Happens at Grandma's" shirt.

 

So first night I got to re-experience what it's like to have an eight day old baby who has the ability to sleep only 1 to 2 hours at a time, but oh so precious.

 

Then one of Gabby's friends came over with her daughter so we got to step outside and experience some of the lovely autumn air.

 

Next day - ahhhh

 

And getting ready for bath time

 


 

Then taking a walk one afternoon I came upon an old golf course that still has some of the remnants of the tee boxes, fairways and greens.  The fall colors are gorgeous in this part of the country.

But boy are they are so tired

 

Wonderful Father

 

Thank you Tyler and Gabby for having me stay with you and meet my Granddaughter Naomi.  She is lovely, alert and I think will be quite wise.  I am looking forward to watching her grow and seeing what terrific parents you both will be.
