Today, after almost 8 hours in the car (~2 hours to travel the last 12 miles!), we arrived for our long awaited family vacation in North Carolina and were MORE than ready to see our family, and the vacation house we would all be spending the week at. We had been checking the house out online for months, and were hoping it wasn't too good to be true. We were NOT disappointed! We quickly saw that the house exceeded all of our expectations. The house was three levels with a Foosball table, multiple decks (with Adirondack chairs), a pool, outdoor hot tub, poolside tiki bar, and backyard full of things to keep the kids entertained - including a multiple hole miniature golf course, pirate ship and castle playground. We quickly got to work unloading all of our gear and food (17 people + 7 days = a LOT of food) and then set out for our first walk to the beach. We never change into bathing suits for this adventure, but half of us usually end up in the ocean anyway, in our clothes - it has become a family vacation tradition. We spent time on the beach, relaxing and enjoying the warm sea air, and the fact that we were all together. The first day of vacation, with the entire week stretching out ahead of us filled with fun and possibility, is always the best. Watch out Duck, NC - The Doody's are here!
