[00:00:04]>> Traveling by train on holiday.

[00:00:07]>> Jack, I can hear the train coming.

[00:00:10]>> I know. We made it on time.

[00:00:12]>> I was worried we'd be late.

[00:00:14]>> We had 20 minutes to spare.

[00:00:16]>> I always worry about trains.

[00:00:19]>> That's because you always pack too late.

[00:00:21]>> That was one time.

[00:00:23]>> Every single time.

[00:00:25]>> Okay, maybe two times.

[00:00:27]>> Very honest of you. Which car are we in?

[00:00:30]>> Car 4, seats 12 and 13.

[00:00:33]>> Window seat.

[00:00:34]>> Yes, I booked the window for you, >> Jack. That's really sweet.

[00:00:39]>> You always fall asleep anyway.

[00:00:41]>> That's not why I like the window.

[00:00:43]>> Then why?

[00:00:44]>> The view. Watching everything move past.

[00:00:48]>> Fair enough.

[00:00:49]>> How long is the ride?

[00:00:51]>> 2 hours and 40 minutes.

[00:00:52]>> That's actually perfect.

[00:00:54]>> We can talk, listen to music, >> or you can sleep. I don't sleep on trains.

[00:01:00]>> You definitely sleep on trains.

[00:01:02]>> I rest my eyes. That's different.

[00:01:05]>> Ha, sure it is.

[00:01:07]>> Did you bring snacks?

[00:01:09]>> Of course. Trail mix and granola bars.

[00:01:12]>> No chips.

[00:01:13]>> You can't eat chips on a train.

[00:01:15]>> People do it all the time.

[00:01:17]>> And everyone hates those people.

[00:01:19]>> Fair point.

[00:01:20]>> The train is here.

[00:01:22]>> Let's find the door.

[00:01:23]>> This is so exciting. You say that every trip >> because every trip is exciting.

[00:01:29]>> That energy is a gift.

[00:01:31]>> Thank you. Now hurry.

[00:01:33]>> I'm right behind you.

[00:01:38]>> The excitement of visiting a new place.

[00:01:41]Jack, we're actually here.

[00:01:44]>> Elmwood.

[00:01:46]Population 4,000.

[00:01:48]>> It looks like a movie set.

[00:01:51]>> That's what the website said.

[00:01:53]It smells different here.

[00:01:55]>> You can smell a town.

[00:01:58]>> Fresh air, bakery, something blooming.

[00:02:03]>> The flower shop over there.

[00:02:05]>> Look at this street.

[00:02:07]>> Old buildings, string lights.

[00:02:11]>> It's so charming.

[00:02:12]>> I didn't expect this.

[00:02:15]>> You expected what?

[00:02:17]>> Nothing special. Just a stop.

[00:02:19]>> And it's beautiful.

[00:02:21]>> Yes. Okay, I was wrong.

[00:02:24]>> That's a big admission.

[00:02:26]>> Don't make a thing of it.

[00:02:27]>> Can we explore on foot?

[00:02:29]>> That's the best way.

[00:02:31]>> Where first?

[00:02:33]>> The bakery, obviously.

[00:02:36]>> Agreed.

[00:02:38]100%.

[00:02:39]>> And then the bookshop.

[00:02:41]>> There's a bookshop >> on the corner. See it?

[00:02:45]>> Yes.

[00:02:47]A little green one.

[00:02:49]>> This town has everything. I want to come back here.

[00:02:53]>> We just arrived.

[00:02:55]>> I know, but already >> that's the sign of a good place.

[00:03:00]>> Exactly.

[00:03:02]>> Let's take a photo here >> on this spot.

[00:03:05]>> The light is perfect.

[00:03:07]>> You're right. It is.

[00:03:10]>> Say something.

[00:03:11]>> New place, new adventure.

[00:03:15]>> Perfect caption.

[00:03:16]>> Okay. Bakery first. Finally. I've been waiting to say that.

[00:03:22]>> You could have led with it.

[00:03:24]>> I was being polite.

[00:03:29]>> Going to the beach on holiday.

[00:03:31]>> Jack, the ocean is right there.

[00:03:35]>> I can see that.

[00:03:37]>> Can you feel the salt air?

[00:03:40]>> I can. It's nice.

[00:03:43]>> Nice.

[00:03:45]It's incredible.

[00:03:47]You're very dramatic about the beach.

[00:03:50]>> Every person should be.

[00:03:52]>> Are you running in?

[00:03:54]>> Obviously, >> it might be cold.

[00:03:58]>> It's summer.

[00:04:00]>> The ocean is still cold sometimes.

[00:04:02]>> Cold is fine. Come on.

[00:04:05]>> Let me put the bag down first.

[00:04:08]>> There's a good spot over there.

[00:04:10]>> Not too close to the water.

[00:04:12]>> It's fine.

[00:04:14]The tide is low.

[00:04:16]How do you know that?

[00:04:18]>> I checked the tide chart.

[00:04:21]>> You checked the tide chart >> and very prepared.

[00:04:25]>> Usually you forget sunscreen.

[00:04:27]>> It's in the back.

[00:04:29]See?

[00:04:31]>> I'm impressed.

[00:04:33]>> Put some on your nose.

[00:04:35]>> My nose is fine.

[00:04:37]>> Your nose will burn.

[00:04:39]>> Okay, fine. Give it here.

[00:04:41]>> I told you.

[00:04:43]>> You tell me a lot of things.

[00:04:45]And I'm usually right.

[00:04:48]>> Unfortunately, yes.

[00:04:50]>> Ready?

[00:04:51]>> Almost. Shoes off.

[00:04:54]>> Come on.

[00:04:55]>> Running.

[00:04:56]>> The sand is so warm.

[00:04:59]>> Don't run yet. The sand is hot.

[00:05:02]>> You're right.

[00:05:04]Ow.

[00:05:05]>> Walk fast.

[00:05:07]>> This is perfect.

[00:05:09]>> Okay, I admit it. The beach is incredible.

[00:05:16]Starting school again after the holiday.

[00:05:19]Jack, I can't believe it's already Monday.

[00:05:24]>> The holiday went so fast.

[00:05:28]>> 2 weeks felt like two days.

[00:05:31]>> That's how time works on holiday.

[00:05:34]>> It should work differently.

[00:05:36]>> Yes, holiday weeks should be longer.

[00:05:41]>> Someone should fix that.

[00:05:43]Add it to your list.

[00:05:45]>> I left homework until yesterday.

[00:05:48]>> You did everything last night.

[00:05:51]>> Almost everything.

[00:05:53]>> Which part is missing?

[00:05:55]>> The history essay.

[00:05:57]>> That's a big missing piece.

[00:05:59]>> I'll finish it in study hall.

[00:06:02]>> Bold strategy.

[00:06:05]>> Did you finish yours >> on day two? Then I relaxed.

[00:06:10]>> Day two. You did it on day two.

[00:06:14]>> Told you do it first.

[00:06:16]>> Okay, you were right.

[00:06:19]>> I feel strange hearing that.

[00:06:21]>> Don't get used to it.

[00:06:23]>> What class do you have first?

[00:06:26]>> English, then chemistry.

[00:06:28]>> Not a bad start.

[00:06:30]>> Chemistry is always a bad start.

[00:06:33]>> Fair.

[00:06:34]>> I miss the holiday already.

[00:06:37]>> We just left the house.

[00:06:39]That's how much I miss it.

[00:06:42]>> Think about the next one.

[00:06:44]>> Winter break is 2 months away.

[00:06:47]>> Manageable.

[00:06:49]>> That is not manageable.

[00:06:51]>> Day by day.

[00:06:53]>> Do you actually like school?

[00:06:56]>> Some parts.

[00:06:58]>> Which parts?

[00:07:00]>> Seeing friends, lunch, art class.

[00:07:04]>> That's three things.

[00:07:06]>> Three is enough.

[00:07:12]working in the kitchen together on holiday.

[00:07:16]Jack, this recipe has too many steps.

[00:07:20]>> You chose the recipe.

[00:07:22]>> It looked simple online.

[00:07:25]>> It always looks simple online.

[00:07:28]>> Can you stir this while I read?

[00:07:32]>> Yes. What does it mean?

[00:07:34]>> Stir until smooth. No lumps.

[00:07:38]like this.

[00:07:40]>> A little more.

[00:07:42]>> There are still lumps.

[00:07:45]>> That's why you keep stirring.

[00:07:47]>> I know what stirring means.

[00:07:50]>> Your face said otherwise.

[00:07:53]>> My face was concentrating.

[00:07:56]>> Next is the butter.

[00:07:58]>> How much?

[00:08:00]>> One stick. Room temperature.

[00:08:03]>> Is it out of the fridge?

[00:08:05]I took it out this morning.

[00:08:08]>> Good planning.

[00:08:10]>> I have my moments.

[00:08:12]>> You actually do.

[00:08:14]>> Don't sound so surprised.

[00:08:17]>> I wasn't surprised.

[00:08:19]>> A little surprised.

[00:08:21]>> Slightly.

[00:08:22]>> The batter looks good now.

[00:08:25]>> It smells great.

[00:08:27]>> Add the vanilla. One teaspoon.

[00:08:31]>> This much?

[00:08:32]>> Yes. Perfect.

[00:08:35]Now what?

[00:08:37]>> We pour it in the pan and bake it.

[00:08:40]>> What temperature?

[00:08:42]>> 350 for 30 minutes.

[00:08:46]>> I'll set the oven >> and set a timer.

[00:08:50]>> Already on it.

[00:08:52]>> We actually work well together >> in the kitchen sometimes.

[00:08:58]>> Better than I expected.

[00:09:01]>> What did you expect?

[00:09:03]An argument about the butter.

[00:09:05]>> Give it five more minutes.

[00:09:12]>> Visiting relatives during the holiday.

[00:09:15]Jack, we're at Aunt Carol's.

[00:09:18]>> I see that.

[00:09:19]>> She's already on the porch.

[00:09:21]>> She must have seen the car.

[00:09:24]>> She always does.

[00:09:25]>> Get ready for the cheek pinch.

[00:09:28]>> Stop. She doesn't do that anymore. She absolutely still does that.

[00:09:33]>> I'm 21.

[00:09:35]>> She doesn't care how old you are.

[00:09:37]>> Oh, no.

[00:09:39]>> Told you.

[00:09:40]>> Hi, Aunt Carol. You look wonderful.

[00:09:43]>> Already using the nice voice.

[00:09:46]>> Shh.

[00:09:47]>> She made food. I can smell it.

[00:09:50]>> She always makes food.

[00:09:52]>> That's the best part of visiting.

[00:09:54]>> That's a terrible thing to say.

[00:09:56]>> It's an honest thing to say.

[00:09:58]Uncle Pete is here, too.

[00:10:00]>> He'll want to show us the garage.

[00:10:03]>> He restored something new.

[00:10:05]>> Another car.

[00:10:07]>> I think a motorcycle this time.

[00:10:10]>> Okay, that's actually cool.

[00:10:12]>> Don't let him keep you there all day.

[00:10:15]>> Can't promise.

[00:10:16]>> Jack, >> 2 hours max.

[00:10:20]>> 1 hour.

[00:10:21]>> 1 and a half.

[00:10:22]>> Fine.

[00:10:24]>> The food smells amazing.

[00:10:26]>> Pot roast. I can tell >> your nose is a gift.

[00:10:30]>> I know.

[00:10:31]>> Are the cousins here?

[00:10:33]>> James and Lily. Yes.

[00:10:35]>> Great. This will be a full house.

[00:10:38]>> Loud and warm.

[00:10:40]>> My favorite combination.

[00:10:45]>> Reading story books on holiday.

[00:10:48]>> Jack, I found an old book.

[00:10:51]>> Where?

[00:10:53]>> Grandma's bookshelf in the guest room.

[00:10:56]What is it?

[00:10:57]>> A story about a lighthouse keeper.

[00:11:00]>> That sounds old-fashioned.

[00:11:02]>> In the best way.

[00:11:04]>> Can I hear it?

[00:11:05]>> I was going to read it aloud.

[00:11:08]>> Really?

[00:11:09]>> Like we did when we were kids.

[00:11:12]>> Mom used to read to us.

[00:11:13]>> I know. I miss that.

[00:11:16]>> Okay, read it.

[00:11:18]>> Really? You want to listen?

[00:11:20]>> Just start before I change my mind.

[00:11:23]The lighthouse sat at the end of a long rocky cliff.

[00:11:27]>> That's a good opening.

[00:11:29]>> I know. Now listen.

[00:11:31]>> I'm listening.

[00:11:33]>> The keeper lit the lamp every night without fail.

[00:11:36]>> Even in storms, >> especially in storms.

[00:11:41]>> That's brave.

[00:11:42]>> He said the ships needed the light most then.

[00:11:45]>> He's right.

[00:11:46]>> Should I keep going?

[00:11:48]>> Yes, please.

[00:11:50]>> You really like it. Don't ruin the moment.

[00:11:53]>> Sorry. Okay, >> read the next part.

[00:11:56]>> One night, a storm came that shook the whole island.

[00:12:01]>> Oh no, >> even you're hooked.

[00:12:03]>> I said don't ruin the moment.

[00:12:06]>> Okay, continuing.

[00:12:08]>> Rain sounds match the story.

[00:12:10]>> Perfect timing.

[00:12:12]>> Keep going.

[00:12:13]>> All night just like this.

[00:12:19]Learning a new skill during the holiday.

[00:12:23]>> Jack, can you actually teach me guitar?

[00:12:28]>> I can try. Are you serious this time?

[00:12:32]>> I mean it this time >> you said that last summer.

[00:12:38]>> This time I practiced in my head.

[00:12:42]>> That's not how practicing works.

[00:12:45]>> I know, but I'm more motivated.

[00:12:49]Okay. Hold the guitar like this.

[00:12:52]>> This way.

[00:12:54]>> Closer to your body.

[00:12:56]>> It feels awkward.

[00:12:58]>> It always does at first.

[00:13:01]>> How long until it feels normal?

[00:13:04]>> A few weeks of real practice.

[00:13:07]>> Weeks.

[00:13:09]>> Music takes time.

[00:13:11]>> Okay, let's first >> three chords G, C, and D.

[00:13:18]That's it.

[00:13:19]>> You can play hundreds of songs with those.

[00:13:23]>> No way.

[00:13:24]>> Right. Put your fingers here.

[00:13:27]>> This string.

[00:13:28]>> Yes. Press firmly on the fret.

[00:13:32]>> Ow, that hurts.

[00:13:34]>> Your fingertips will toughen up.

[00:13:37]>> That sounds unpleasant.

[00:13:39]>> It's a right of passage.

[00:13:42]>> Every guitarist.

[00:13:44]>> Every single one.

[00:13:46]>> Okay. I'm committed.

[00:13:48]>> Good. Now, strum down slowly.

[00:13:52]>> That actually sounded like something.

[00:13:55]>> That was a G chord.

[00:13:57]>> I played a chord.

[00:13:59]>> Your very first one.

[00:14:01]>> Take a photo of this moment.

[00:14:03]>> Why?

[00:14:04]>> For when I'm a famous guitarist.

[00:14:08]>> We'll frame it.

[00:14:09]>> I'm serious.

[00:14:11]>> I know. That's what makes it great.

[00:14:19]Fighting over the TV remote on holiday.

[00:14:22]Jack, give me the remote.

[00:14:26]>> I'm watching this.

[00:14:29]>> You've been watching that for an hour.

[00:14:32]>> It's a nature documentary >> about fish.

[00:14:38]>> About deep sea creatures.

[00:14:41]>> That's still fish.

[00:14:44]It really isn't.

[00:14:46]>> Can we watch something else?

[00:14:49]>> During the exciting part?

[00:14:52]No.

[00:14:54]>> A fish eating another fish is not exciting.

[00:14:58]>> Deep sea creature.

[00:15:01]And yes, it is.

[00:15:04]>> I want to watch the cooking show.

[00:15:07]>> After this.

[00:15:09]>> How long is after this?

[00:15:12]20 more minutes.

[00:15:15]>> 20 minutes.

[00:15:17]>> It's almost done.

[00:15:20]>> You said that 15 minutes ago.

[00:15:24]>> I was wrong.

[00:15:26]Now I'm right.

[00:15:28]>> Rock, paper, scissors.

[00:15:31]>> No, >> that's the fairway.

[00:15:35]>> I had the remote first.

[00:15:38]>> You left it on the cushion.

[00:15:41]I was going to come back.

[00:15:44]>> It was unattended. It's mine now.

[00:15:48]>> That is not a rule.

[00:15:50]>> I just made it one.

[00:15:53]>> Fine.

[00:15:55]Rock, paper, scissors.

[00:15:57]>> Ready. 1 2 3.

[00:16:03]>> Scissors. I win.

[00:16:05]>> Paper cover. Scissors.

[00:16:08]>> Wait, you said paper.

[00:16:11]paper.

[00:16:12]>> I saw scissors.

[00:16:15]>> You saw wrong.

[00:16:17]>> This is suspicious.

[00:16:20]>> Cooking show starts now.

[00:16:22]>> I want a rematch.

[00:16:24]>> During the commercial, not wanting to lose the holiday mood.

[00:16:34]Jack, tomorrow is school.

[00:16:37]>> I know. How is the holiday already over?

[00:16:42]>> Time moves fast when you're happy.

[00:16:45]>> That's a sad truth.

[00:16:48]>> Or a beautiful one.

[00:16:50]>> We only got to one beach.

[00:16:53]>> We can go again.

[00:16:55]>> I wanted to go to the mountains, too.

[00:16:58]>> Next break.

[00:17:00]>> I'm making a list right now >> already.

[00:17:04]>> The list for next holiday.

[00:17:07]That's very you.

[00:17:09]>> Is that good or bad?

[00:17:12]>> Good. Definitely good.

[00:17:15]>> I don't want to lose this feeling.

[00:17:18]>> What feeling?

[00:17:20]>> Slow, relaxed, no pressure.

[00:17:25]>> You can carry it with you.

[00:17:28]>> Can you really?

[00:17:30]>> It takes practice.

[00:17:32]>> Like a skill.

[00:17:34]>> Exactly.

[00:17:36]What was your favorite part?

[00:17:38]>> The train ride.

[00:17:40]>> Really?

[00:17:42]>> Sitting with you, watching the world go by.

[00:17:45]>> That's a sweet thing to say.

[00:17:48]>> It's true.

[00:17:50]>> Mine was the beach.

[00:17:52]>> You ran straight into the water.

[00:17:55]>> Like a wild animal.

[00:17:57]>> A happy wild animal.

[00:18:00]>> Let's not waste tonight.

[00:18:02]>> What do you want to do? Just this sit here. Talk.

[00:18:10]>> Done.

[00:18:10]>> The best kind of evening.

[00:18:16]Planning a camping trip on holiday.

[00:18:20]Jack, we should go camping this week.

[00:18:24]>> This week? Like soon?

[00:18:27]>> Day after tomorrow.

[00:18:29]>> That's very soon.

[00:18:32]>> I already found a spot. Of course you did.

[00:18:36]>> Pinerest campground 2 hours away.

[00:18:39]>> Is it in the woods?

[00:18:41]>> Mountains and forest. A little river.

[00:18:45]>> Okay, I'm in.

[00:18:47]>> You didn't even hesitate.

[00:18:49]>> River and mountains. Easy. Yes.

[00:18:53]>> We need to pack smart.

[00:18:55]>> I can do the gear list.

[00:18:58]Tent, sleeping bags, >> camp stove, matches, >> first aid kit, >> good thinking, >> food. What should we bring?

[00:19:07]>> Things we can cook over fire.

[00:19:10]>> Corn, hot dogs, potatoes, >> and marshmallows, >> obviously.

[00:19:17]>> S'mores are non-negotiable.

[00:19:19]>> Agreed, 100%.

[00:19:22]>> Bug spray.

[00:19:24]>> Yes, I hate mosquitoes.

[00:19:27]Everyone does.

[00:19:29]>> Are the stars good up there?

[00:19:31]>> No city lights. Should be amazing.

[00:19:34]>> I want to sleep outside the tent.

[00:19:37]>> If it doesn't rain, >> I'll check the forecast.

[00:19:41]>> Already ahead of me.

[00:19:43]>> This is going to be so good.

[00:19:46]>> Our first real camping trip >> together as adults.

[00:19:51]>> We camped with dad.

[00:19:53]>> That was different. He did everything.

[00:19:56]>> Now we do everything.

[00:19:59]>> Exciting and terrifying.

[00:20:02]>> Perfect description.

[00:20:07]>> Singing together on holiday.

[00:20:10]>> Jack, this song is perfect.

[00:20:14]>> What song?

[00:20:15]>> Listen.

[00:20:17]>> Oh, I know this one.

[00:20:20]>> Everybody knows this one.

[00:20:22]>> It's a classic.

[00:20:24]Sing it with me.

[00:20:26]>> I don't sing.

[00:20:28]>> Everyone sings, especially in the kitchen.

[00:20:32]>> I hum. There's a difference.

[00:20:35]>> Humming is just quiet singing.

[00:20:39]>> It's very different.

[00:20:40]>> Come on, just the chorus.

[00:20:44]>> No one can hear.

[00:20:46]>> Just me.

[00:20:47]>> Fine. Just the chorus.

[00:20:50]>> Ready? 3 2 1 >> Okay, I admit that felt good.

[00:20:58]>> Told you.

[00:21:00]>> Don't tell anyone.

[00:21:01]>> I'm going to tell everyone, >> Sophia.

[00:21:05]>> I'm kidding. Our secret.

[00:21:08]>> Thank you.

[00:21:10]>> Your voice is actually good.

[00:21:12]>> It's okay.

[00:21:14]>> Better than okay.

[00:21:16]>> Don't start.

[00:21:18]>> I'm serious.

[00:21:19]>> I know. Still don't start.

[00:21:23]>> Okay. One more song though.

[00:21:26]>> Which one?

[00:21:28]>> Something we both know.

[00:21:30]>> That old road trip song.

[00:21:32]>> Yes. The one dad always played.

[00:21:36]>> Now you're going to make it sentimental.

[00:21:39]>> A little sentimental is fine.

[00:21:42]>> Okay. Put it on.

[00:21:44]>> 3 2 1.

[00:21:48]>> This is genuinely fun.

[00:21:50]Everything is more fun on holiday.

[00:21:58]>> Preparing food for a holiday picnic.

[00:22:02]>> Sophia, how many sandwiches do we need >> for two people? Four total.

[00:22:09]>> That's two each.

[00:22:11]>> Plus snacks.

[00:22:12]>> What kind of sandwiches?

[00:22:14]>> Turkey and cheese and one peanut butter.

[00:22:18]Why peanut butter >> for the afternoon when we're still hungry?

[00:22:24]>> You've done this before.

[00:22:25]>> Picnic strategy.

[00:22:27]>> Is that a real thing?

[00:22:29]>> It is. Now, >> what fruit do we have?

[00:22:32]>> Grapes, strawberries, and a peach.

[00:22:37]>> That's a good mix.

[00:22:39]>> Can you wash them?

[00:22:40]>> On it. What else goes in? Crackers, cheese slices, lemonade.

[00:22:48]>> Do we have a thermos for the lemonade?

[00:22:51]>> Yes, the blue one.

[00:22:53]>> Perfect. I'll fill it.

[00:22:55]>> Add some ice, too.

[00:22:57]>> Smart.

[00:22:58]>> We need napkins.

[00:23:00]>> In the picnic basket already.

[00:23:02]>> Did you put them in?

[00:23:04]>> Of course.

[00:23:05]>> I'm impressed.

[00:23:06]>> I can be organized >> sometimes.

[00:23:10]>> More than sometimes.

[00:23:12]Okay. Often.

[00:23:14]>> Thank you.

[00:23:15]>> The sandwiches are done.

[00:23:17]>> The fruit is washed.

[00:23:19]>> Thermos is packed.

[00:23:21]>> Blanket is in the bag.

[00:23:23]>> Sunscreen >> in the side pocket.

[00:23:26]>> We're ready.

[00:23:27]>> That was efficient.

[00:23:29]>> Picnic strategy in action.

[00:23:35]Going to eat ice cream on holiday.

[00:23:38]Jack, there are 24 flavors.

[00:23:43]>> Yes. And you'll take 10 minutes.

[00:23:47]>> This is a serious decision.

[00:23:50]>> It's ice cream.

[00:23:51]>> Exactly. It's ice cream.

[00:23:55]>> I already know what I want.

[00:23:57]>> What?

[00:23:58]>> Mint chocolate chip always.

[00:24:01]>> You get that every time >> because it's perfect every time.

[00:24:06]Don't you want to try something new?

[00:24:09]>> Why risk it?

[00:24:11]>> You can't discover new favorites that way.

[00:24:14]>> Mint chip is my forever favorite.

[00:24:17]>> That's sad.

[00:24:18]>> It's loyal.

[00:24:20]>> Oh, the mango sorbet looks amazing.

[00:24:23]>> Get that then.

[00:24:25]>> But the lavender honey also looks that.

[00:24:28]>> Pick one.

[00:24:29]>> What if I get a small of each?

[00:24:32]>> That's allowed.

[00:24:34]Everything is allowed on holiday.

[00:24:37]>> True principle.

[00:24:39]>> Excuse me. Can I get a small mango sorbet and a small lavender honey?

[00:24:44]>> Bold move.

[00:24:46]>> Best of both worlds.

[00:24:48]>> How is the lavender?

[00:24:50]>> Oh, that's incredible.

[00:24:52]>> Really?

[00:24:54]>> Try some.

[00:24:55]>> I have my mint chip.

[00:24:57]>> Just one taste.

[00:24:59]>> Fine. That's actually really good.

[00:25:02]>> I knew it.

[00:25:04]I'm still keeping my mint chip.

[00:25:06]>> Of course, but now you know.

[00:25:10]>> New favorite backup.

[00:25:12]>> See, risk pays off.

[00:25:19]Remembering old memories on holiday.

[00:25:22]Jack, look what I found.

[00:25:25]>> An old photo album >> from when we were little.

[00:25:29]>> Let me see.

[00:25:30]>> That's you at the beach.

[00:25:33]How old am I there?

[00:25:35]>> Maybe six.

[00:25:37]>> Look at my hair.

[00:25:38]>> I know. It was so curly.

[00:25:42]>> I forgot about that.

[00:25:43]>> Mom loved it.

[00:25:45]>> She did.

[00:25:47]>> That's me on the swing.

[00:25:49]>> You used to swing for hours.

[00:25:51]>> The one in Grandma's yard.

[00:25:53]>> She still has it.

[00:25:55]>> I know. I visited it.

[00:25:58]>> The swing >> a little.

[00:26:00]>> Huh. That's sweet. Actually, >> this one look.

[00:26:05]>> Oh, the camping trip >> with dad. The tent was so small.

[00:26:11]>> We all slept sideways.

[00:26:13]>> And dad said it was character building.

[00:26:16]>> Huh? He always said that >> about everything uncomfortable.

[00:26:21]>> Cold showers, character building, >> long walks, character building, >> eating vegetables, >> character building. He wasn't wrong.

[00:26:31]>> No, he wasn't.

[00:26:33]>> I miss these times.

[00:26:35]>> We're still making memories.

[00:26:38]>> You think this holiday will end up in a photo album?

[00:26:41]>> Of course it will.

[00:26:43]>> Future us will look back >> and laugh at our hair.

[00:26:47]>> Very likely.

[00:26:52]>> Making videos and vlogs on holiday.

[00:26:56]Jack, we should make a vlog. A vlog.

[00:27:00]>> A holiday vlog. On camera.

[00:27:03]>> I'm not good on camera.

[00:27:05]>> You don't have to be good.

[00:27:07]>> You always say that.

[00:27:09]>> You just have to be yourself.

[00:27:11]>> My natural self is awkward on camera.

[00:27:14]>> That's actually charming.

[00:27:16]>> That's a polite way to say weird.

[00:27:18]>> It's a genuine way to say charming.

[00:27:21]>> What would we even film?

[00:27:23]>> Everything. The train, the beach, the food. We already did all those things.

[00:27:30]>> We can recreate and film from now on.

[00:27:33]>> What would we say?

[00:27:35]>> Just talk like we normally do.

[00:27:38]>> People want to watch us talk.

[00:27:40]>> People want to hear real conversations, >> even boring ones.

[00:27:44]>> Especially those. They're relatable.

[00:27:47]>> Okay. How do we start?

[00:27:49]>> I'll hold the camera. You just act normal.

[00:27:53]>> Define normal.

[00:27:54]>> Don't look at the camera. I always look at the camera.

[00:27:58]>> Look at me instead.

[00:27:59]>> Okay.

[00:28:00]>> Tell me your favorite part of this holiday >> right now with the camera on.

[00:28:06]>> Yes.

[00:28:06]>> The singing this morning.

[00:28:08]>> Really?

[00:28:09]>> It was unexpected and really fun.

[00:28:12]>> That's perfect.

[00:28:13]>> Am I okay on camera?

[00:28:15]>> You're great. Very natural.

[00:28:17]>> You're just saying that.

[00:28:19]>> Watch it back and see.

[00:28:21]>> Okay, I will.

[00:28:22]>> Told you.

[00:28:27]Playing pranks on holiday. Jack, >> what?

[00:28:32]>> Nothing. Never mind.

[00:28:34]>> Why are you smiling like that?

[00:28:37]>> I'm just happy.

[00:28:38]>> That smile is suspicious.

[00:28:41]>> Can't a person just smile?

[00:28:43]>> Not that smile.

[00:28:45]>> You're very paranoid.

[00:28:47]>> I've lived with you for 22 years. And >> that smile means something is happening.

[00:28:54]>> Walk to the kitchen. I'll prove I'm innocent.

[00:28:58]>> I'm not walking anywhere near you, >> Jack.

[00:29:02]>> What's behind your back?

[00:29:04]>> Nothing.

[00:29:05]>> Show me your hands.

[00:29:07]>> You're so suspicious.

[00:29:09]>> Show me your hands.

[00:29:12]>> Fine. A water bottle.

[00:29:14]>> A spray water bottle.

[00:29:16]>> It's very hot today.

[00:29:18]You were going to spray me.

[00:29:20]>> I was going to cool you down.

[00:29:23]>> Sophia, >> you should have run faster.

[00:29:26]>> You sprayed me.

[00:29:27]>> I warned you.

[00:29:29]>> You did not warn me.

[00:29:31]>> The warning was implied.

[00:29:33]>> That is not how warnings work.

[00:29:35]>> You laughed though.

[00:29:37]>> I did not laugh.

[00:29:39]>> A little.

[00:29:40]>> I'm getting you back.

[00:29:42]>> I'm ready.

[00:29:43]>> No, you're not.

[00:29:45]>> I'm a little nervous now. Good. That's the point.

[00:29:52]>> Going for a morning walk on holiday.

[00:29:55]Jack, this was a great idea.

[00:29:59]>> You said a morning walk was boring.

[00:30:02]>> I was wrong.

[00:30:03]>> I heard that clearly.

[00:30:05]>> Don't make it weird.

[00:30:07]>> Can you say it again?

[00:30:09]>> Absolutely not.

[00:30:10]>> Just once more.

[00:30:12]>> The air is incredible out here.

[00:30:15]>> See? Morning air.

[00:30:17]>> How are you this awake so early?

[00:30:20]>> I wake up at 6:30.

[00:30:22]>> Every day.

[00:30:24]>> Every day.

[00:30:25]>> That's not normal.

[00:30:27]>> It's very normal.

[00:30:28]>> On holiday.

[00:30:30]>> Your body doesn't know it's holiday.

[00:30:33]>> My body absolutely knows.

[00:30:35]>> That explains the sleepin.

[00:30:37]>> Look at the light through the trees.

[00:30:39]>> I see it.

[00:30:40]>> It looks like a painting.

[00:30:42]>> You're very poetic before coffee. I'm always poetic.

[00:30:47]>> Usually afternoon.

[00:30:49]>> Fair point.

[00:30:50]>> Can you hear the birds?

[00:30:52]>> Yes. So many.

[00:30:54]>> Morning symphony.

[00:30:55]>> Now, who's poetic?

[00:30:57]>> Touche.

[00:30:58]>> Can we do this every holiday morning?

[00:31:01]>> I'm in.

[00:31:02]>> Deal.

[00:31:03]>> Coffee after.

[00:31:05]>> Immediately after >> the good kind, not hotel coffee.

[00:31:09]>> We'll find a real cafe.

[00:31:11]>> Perfect plan. This holiday just keeps getting better.

[00:31:19]>> Making new friends on holiday.

[00:31:22]Jack, that couple looks friendly.

[00:31:26]>> The ones at the next table.

[00:31:29]>> Yes, they've been smiling at us.

[00:31:33]>> You want to talk to strangers?

[00:31:36]>> On holiday. That's okay.

[00:31:39]>> Is that a rule?

[00:31:41]Unwritten but real.

[00:31:44]>> What would we even say?

[00:31:46]>> Hi. Something casual.

[00:31:50]>> You do it.

[00:31:52]>> We both do it.

[00:31:53]>> You're the talker.

[00:31:56]>> You have a very friendly face.

[00:31:59]>> That's manipulation.

[00:32:01]>> It's true.

[00:32:03]>> Fine. One of us approaches >> together.

[00:32:09]together is less awkward.

[00:32:11]>> Hi, sorry to bother you.

[00:32:15]>> We're on holiday and just notice the view here.

[00:32:19]>> Oh, they're on holiday, too.

[00:32:22]>> Small world.

[00:32:24]>> Same week, different town.

[00:32:28]>> They came from Portland.

[00:32:30]>> We've been to Portland.

[00:32:33]>> Common ground. Good.

[00:32:35]>> She asked about the trail we walked.

[00:32:38]I'll pull up the map.

[00:32:41]>> They like hiking.

[00:32:43]>> So do we.

[00:32:45]>> We might hike together tomorrow.

[00:32:48]>> Really?

[00:32:49]>> If you're okay with it.

[00:32:52]>> Holiday friends.

[00:32:54]I didn't expect that.

[00:32:57]>> Life is full of surprises.

[00:32:59]>> She seems really kind >> and funny.

[00:33:04]>> I like them.

[00:33:06]Holiday friends are the best kind.

[00:33:09]>> Why?

[00:33:10]>> No history, just good energy.

[00:33:18]>> Not wanting the holiday to end.

[00:33:21]>> Jack, I don't want this holiday to end.

[00:33:26]>> I know.

[00:33:28]>> Say something helpful.

[00:33:30]>> It was really good.

[00:33:32]>> That's not helpful.

[00:33:34]What do you want me to say?

[00:33:37]>> That it's not over.

[00:33:38]>> It's not over yet.

[00:33:41]>> That works.

[00:33:42]>> We still have tonight.

[00:33:44]>> One more sunset.

[00:33:47]>> A good one.

[00:33:48]>> Look at those colors.

[00:33:51]>> Orange and gold.

[00:33:53]>> This view. I want to remember it exactly.

[00:33:57]>> Take a photo.

[00:33:59]>> Some things can't be photographed.

[00:34:01]>> That's true. Like how the air feels right now?

[00:34:06]>> Warm still >> and safe.

[00:34:10]>> Yes.

[00:34:12]>> We did everything on the list.

[00:34:15]>> Almost everything.

[00:34:17]>> We didn't go to the mountains.

[00:34:19]>> Next time.

[00:34:21]>> I'm adding it to the new list >> already.

[00:34:25]>> The next holiday starts with the mountains.

[00:34:28]>> Deal.

[00:34:29]>> What will you miss most? The slowness.

[00:34:33]No rush.

[00:34:35]>> Same.

[00:34:36]Just being.

[00:34:38]>> We can bring that home.

[00:34:39]>> You said that before.

[00:34:41]>> And I meant it.

[00:34:43]>> I'll try this time.

[00:34:45]>> Me, too.

[00:34:46]>> Thank you for this whole holiday.

[00:34:49]>> Thank you >> for what?

[00:34:52]>> Being my favorite travel companion.

[00:34:55]>> Even when I'm dramatic, >> especially then.
