Let him roll. I never went anywhere as a kid, and I want my kids to know - we go where we want when we want. The places don’t matter, the people do. Simple kayak trip, back of the camper or plane to Europe, they are all equal if you just focus on the fun and connection.

I love that, man. And it's one thing my wife and I definitely going to do our best to head off.

My girls were just saying that it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about their spring break plans. Then again, we’re the same about making travel a priority.

I hear that. Shit, I get embarrassed half the time we're talking about our trips!!! Hopefully, my son will learn some of that good old fashion Italian-Catholic/Jewish guilt and shame from dad and mom!
