The Boss, Ty McFarland, Shares About His Amazing Family Trip to Portugal

Portugal wasn’t just a vacation for Ty and his family—it was the kind of trip that sneaks up on you after a catchy commercial and ends up changing your whole outlook on the world. What started as a surprise getaway (his daughter was convinced they were headed to the Oregon coast) quickly turned into a whirlwind of castles in Sintra, centuries‑old Lisbon architecture, and seafood so fresh it practically told its own story.

Along the way, they met some of the friendliest people imaginable and even picked up a few Portuguese phrases to prove it. Every moment felt like a discovery. And for Ty’s daughter, it became more than a trip—it became a whole new way of seeing the world.
