Heidi and I took our children，Daniel and Rachel，on a two－week trip to Croatia，one of the most beautiful countries in the world.We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful

priority over them.‎ In addition to sharing this incredible experience，I wanted to take us all out of the activity－driven world we live in.If I had had my cell phone on and been constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with the office，I would just have brought that hyper－connected environment into the peaceful，meaningful world I was trying to create.‎ In addition to creating
