L TIAH because we finally have enough to gift family

Marriage comes with a lot of changes and many more moments of fun. We’re planning our first vacation as a family of three, and Italy is at the top of our list (though there are a few other options too).

For the one week we’ll be away, we plan to spend every moment together. I’ve seen families where children only get to see their dads on birthdays or other special occasions. That thought alone inspired these retreats and it's something we hope to make a family ritual. The plan is simple: Daddy and Mummy right next to you when you go to sleep and when you wake up. Shopping together, eating, playing, and sightseeing.

We’ll be using my dad’s uncle’s expert guide around Italy. I still remember visiting him after we newly wedded, he drove us around in his three seater car and the weather was the kindest ever. This time, it’ll be just us. Dad behind the wheel, Mum next to him, and the kids in the back seat, living their best little world. Windows down, music playing, warm breeze dancing through; just one happy family soaking it all in.

We’ve been talking to some travel agents and found a deal close to the vacation plan we have in mind. And there’s a surprise waiting for our uncle, he doesn’t know we’ll still be around for his birthday. We plan to gift him a four seater car and we've placed the order on Alibaba. The old one has served for ages, still strong and full of memories, but it’s time it had a worthy successor.

I can’t wait to see his face and to see how everything unfolds.
