Three Things: The Summer Vacation Edition

We all remember what summer vacation meant to us as kids. Those hot summer months meant freedom from routine, but more importantly, it meant freedom to make adventures for ourselves; freedom to get into trouble (mostly without getting caught); freedom to make magic happen.

This week, let’s explore that childhood summer-vacation feeling: anything is possible.
