I wish Rae and I lived closer. Two continents. Two time zones. It’s not easy.

I’m grateful for the technology that keeps us connected—and I’m more grateful for the time we actually spend together.

Traveling. Eating well. Discovering history and adventure together.

Watching your child become an adult is one thing. Watching that shift into friendship is another.

We’re learning the world together, and in doing that, we’re learning each other all over again.

Our Italy adventure took us to:
– the Colosseum of Rome
– the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel
– Saint Peter’s Basilica
– Pompeii
– Museo e Cripta dei Cappuccini
– the beautiful courtyards and museums of Florence

So much rich history, we felt like we had traveled back in time! If you’re a parent with adult children across the street or across an ocean: invest in this. Visit. Explore. Take the trip.

The bond you’ll build—and the versions of yourselves you’ll discover—are worth it.
