Husband and I went to a wedding last year near Tarragona in Spain. It might have been the heady thrill of being away on our own without the kids for the first time in a looong time, but we were charmed by the whole area. “We should come back here with the kids,” my husband says, over our fourth cocktail on the rooftop bar, next to the pool. “ Absorlutely,” I slur, chasing my straw around the hollowed-out coconut. “ Leshts DO IT!” After determining that we weren’t so sloshed that we were going to cough up for a H10 hotel…
