Michelle Obama and the two first daughters took to Venice's historic canals for a spot of sightseeing on Friday as they continued their tour of Europe. Sasha, 14, and Malia, 16, rode in the back of a police boat with their mother as they made two stops at the Doge Palace and the San Marco Basilica. The First Lady's grandmother, Marian Robinson, joined the trio as they were followed by officers on jet skis as part of the huge security operation. Crowds lined the waters of the Italian city  to get a glimpse of the President's family, but they were protected by small windows and curtains at the rear of the vessel.Sasha, 14, and Malia, 16, rode in the back of a police boat with their mother along the city's historic canalsThey and their grandmother, Marian Robinson, stopped at the Dodge Palace and San Marco BasilicaCrowds lined the water to get a glimpse of the President's family - but they were hidden by small windowsThe boat was similar to the one used by George and Amal Clooney following their wedding in September, 2014
