School started for our kids yesterday, but before the kiddos hit the books, we decided to take them on a last-minute vacation last week and it was wonderful. Somehow, with three kids, we have managed the art of traveling because each vacation just seems to get better and better. My wife and I brought the […]
If you’ve watched our latest vlogs, you are aware that our family has taken a lot of trips in the last few months, which isn’t a big surprise — it’s summer! But what you might not have realized is that when my wife and I travel with our kids, we always get a babysitter so […]
My wife and I aren’t big gamblers. Okay, Susan is, but we always manage to stay within budgets and not go overboard. When we were newly dating, neither of us knew how to gamble. But for some reason, we decided to take a vacation to Las Vegas together (it is only a quick drive from […]
