đŞđ¸ Spain Among our friends, we are known for being ambitious about taking the kids to restaurants. It is a core part of who we are as parents.
đŞđ¸ Spain The complex has its own pool, just for the houses inside the gate. Full-time lifeguard, a shallow kids' pool, and a deep adults' pool next to it.
đŞđ¸ Spain Our last night in Spain, and Dave was still with us. He'd been here five days by then, a lovely calming presence in our wild, chaotic family.
đŞđ¸ Spain I'm generally not a big fan of day trips. Whether you're at a resort or renting a house, I find myself thinking: we came all this way for *a place*.
đŞđ¸ Spain The number of people who've asked us about our twins on this trip is a growing list. Maeve is big.
đŞđ¸ Spain We say it all the time: Nora is a character. And we say it because it doesn't always feel like we have a five-year-old in the house.
đŞđ¸ Spain There are few things better than a flat boardwalk and a lot of people to watch. Marbella is interesting because it sits at this intersection between a beachy town and a really ritzy vacation spot.
đŞđ¸ Spain Kait and Erik are staying at our place in Toronto while we're in Spain, and one of the first things they asked was where we keep the salt shaker.
đŞđ¸ Spain I'm a relatively simple man. Give me a bit of sun.
Five and three is a different thing than two and four. I keep coming back to that.
đŞđ¸ Spain I didn't go on the boat. That's where this story starts.
đŞđ¸ Spain One of the things I keep coming back to on this trip is how good our mornings have been. We do this thing every day that I'm just a huge fan of.
đŞđ¸ Spain Spanish food is incredible. Endless and interesting.
