Darren and I don’t like to wait for adventure! We’ve tried to accomplish every dream imaginable and we’re doing a great job with it. About two years ago, he told me he wanted to try kiteboarding.

Life has a funny way of happening, though, and we forgot about his dream to master the kite on the water.
