My teenage daughter and son and I were on vacation last week visiting family. For us that meant hanging out with cousins and grandparents, going for swims in the pool, hitting the beach for body surfing and boogie boarding.
And eating way too much food. Especially dessert.
Nothing like a father and his teens kicking off summer [...]
