    Chioggia Adventures: The Saga of Me, Mom, and a Grandfather-to-Be 🌍

    So, we roll into Chioggia (aka Little Venice because I’m too lazy to learn new names 🤷‍♀️), and the first thing that happens? We meet the most adorable old man at the hotel. Like, I’m not kidding—this guy was basically made of sugar and sunshine ☀️👴. He helped us check in, and I’m pretty sure I’m legally adopting him as my grandpa. He showed us to our room, which was so cozy it practically had a personality. If rooms could give you a hug, this one would’ve. 🛏️💕

    After a brief nap (because travel = exhaustion x1000), we hit the streets to explore! 🏃‍♀️💨 By “explore,” I mean we walked about 10 minutes because the town is tiny, and also because I was starving after skipping lunch. I mean, who needs food when you’ve got Italian scenery, right? 😂 #Lies. Anyway, we start hunting for a restaurant, but SURPRISE, nothing opens until 18:30 or 19:00. Italy, why are you torturing me like this?! 😩🍝

    So, what do we do? We head back to the room in our hunger-induced despair. Mom, who is now officially over this "I don't understand what anyone is saying" situation, gives up and turns on Swedish TV. Yup, Bäst i Test and the news from TV4. 🤦‍♀️ Like, really mom?! We’re in ITALY, and you’re glued to Swedish TV?!! But let’s be real, after last night’s Snore Symphony (starring MAMA), I needed some chill time too. 😴 #BästItest #Tv4 #SvenskTv

    Fast forward to 18:30: IT’S DINNER TIME, and I’m basically sprinting to the restaurant because my stomach is auditioning for a horror movie. 🍽️💀 Mom, on the other hand, is living her best life, doing her little happy dance because she’s loving her food (AGAIN). 💃 Meanwhile, I’m sitting there like, “Yeah, it’s good, but it’s not yesterday's meal good,” because apparently, my tastebuds are snobs now and might just have stayed at Chesa de vein. 🙄 #ChesaDeVein

    Anyway, we’re calling it an early night because I am DONE. Like, stick a fork in me—I’m ready for bed. 💤 Goodnight from Little Venice and please pray for my food cravings tomorrow. 🙏
