What do you do in your down-time?

My wife and I really enjoy traveling internationally, and with the rest of the world opening up this year, we're looking at several trips coming up, hopefully Italy soon. One of my other hobbies is being a very amateur competitive shooter, and getting to compete in the shooting sports as much as my schedule allows.
