Backpacks are ready. Kids will be in bed early for the first time in over ten weeks. Another school year is upon us. While new memories are ahead, I look back at an amazing summer - my first as a stay at home dad.
We enjoyed so many new experiences including our first Six Flags theme parks (Great Escape and Great Adventure), daring ropes course, NFL football game and visits to the Bronx Zoo. Two Bon Jovi concerts and All Star Game Weekend events at CitiField were thrilling. Road trips to Albany and South Jersey were fun. Throughout the summer, we played lots of baseball and tennis, competed in town field activities, swam in the town pool and just enjoyed time with friends and family.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating and leading an instructional sports program and coaching my son's baseball team. The players and their families even won a contest by cramming 25 of us into a VW Beetle at a minor league baseball game. This summer, I somehow managed to complete three summer courses and deliver a TEDx talk at my high school.
So, while the summer break is over, I am satisfied we made the most of it. I hope you enjoyed these few months as well. Time moves so fast for many of us and we can only aim to enjoy it to the fullest. Now that the first day of school is upon us, what do we do next? We're off to Disney World!
