Aside from all the basketball travel you've heard me talk about, we wanna make time for a family vacation.

And we're hoping to travel internationally this year, maybe Spain, France, or Italy, because we really love to eat and Italian food is our favorite.

We also want to invite our older children and their families to come with us.

If they all say yes, we're talking about at least eight adult-sized people and their luggage, so we could use the extra space.

Traveling with family is so much better when staying at homes on Airbnb.

There's more space and it's so nice that we get to explore new neighborhoods and cities thanks to hosts who open their homes so families like ours can explore.

And boy, do we like to explore.

There was a time when we moved that things didn't go as planned.

We were moving to Oregon for a new coaching position.

And as always, I went ahead and my wife Kelly stayed behind to get the packing done and get the kids' school year finished.

I was tasked with looking for potential homes for us to move into.

I usually found a few for Kelly to pick from, but this time I was having a hard time finding something I liked.

Finally, Kelly came out with my mom and after seeing two or three places they liked, my mom pulled me aside and asked me if I needed some money to help with the purchase.

We still laugh about that to this day.
