how to have a fun vacation (solo parent edition)

relax.

no, really. relax.

beware of pool slides. my flat butt still hasn't fully recovered.

leave electronic devices and video games at home. I did regret this at times and banged my head on the steering wheel on multiple occasions. but there were also moments when I could see delirious joy shining through in my sons' eyes. and we played a mean game of Monopoly.

remember, the preteen attitude probably didn't get the vacation memo.
