Three-Martini Family Vacation: A Field Guide to Intrepid Parenting offers a smart, irreverent look at travelling and socializing with children while still enjoying adult life. Written in a light, humorous style, it speaks to parents who want their vacations and evenings out to feel fun again, not just exhausting.
Through a series of short, punchy essays, the author tackles the chaos of toddlers on the move and family time outside the home. From restaurant outings and cocktail parties to the theme-park marathon and visits with relatives, the book shares practical suggestions wrapped in sharp wit.
Parents learn ways to redirect overactive energy, set boundaries, and keep a sense of humour when plans unravel. The tone is playful rather than preachy, encouraging readers to reclaim grown-up pleasures while including their children in realistic, manageable ways.
This compact paperback makes an ideal companion for parents who appreciate candid advice, a touch of satire, and the reminder that family vacations and social events can still feel like a break.
