What’s your idea of the perfect staycation?
A two-night stay at Terranea on a Santa Ana-summer weather day, lounging by the pool and walking the tide pools, while the grandparents graciously watch the kid. (Still waiting for that to happen!)

How do you celebrate Father’s Day?
Spent with the legend Steve Campbell! Usually Manhattan Beach Community Church at 10 a.m., followed by Chart House brunch in Redondo Beach, then a movie or a Sunday afternoon drive. I enjoy dinner at the parents’ on Laurel Avenue at night and some Handel’s Ice Cream as a treat to close out the day. My dad and I are both addicted to their chocolate milkshakes!

What’s your favorite travel getaway?
We just went to Greece—Athens, Santorini and Mykonos—last year, and it was a dream! We fell in love with the people, history, food and picturesque views. It truly was beautiful, and we can’t wait to go back.

What local dining spots top your list these days?
As a fan of Southeast Asian cuisine, it’s exciting to see new restaurants like Dumpling Mix open. Try the dumplings and the potato-wrapped shrimp. Also head to Little Sister in the Riviera Village for the Vietnamese chicken salad, sugarcane lemongrass pork skewers and rice paper summer rolls.
