It’s true what they say… all good things must come to an end. After a glorious three and a half weeks at the beach it’s time to pack up and head back home. I think this is one of those vacations I’ll remember forever. I got to spend time with my immediate family, (husband and son), and an extra week and a half with just my mom and my son.
The weather was glorious. It ranged from low 70s to upper 80s and it only rained part of one day.
Every morning I wake up, (brush off any aches and pains), and count my blessings. I have a phenomenal life! I am thankful and grateful for every moment of it and the people I get to share it with.

Thanks for the comments @Wischick and @Lauren. If you have any specific questions about owning a second property definitely let me know!

Just wanted to "drop by" and thank you for the info you posted on owning/renting in NC! My husband and I have vacationed @ Sunset Beach Island for the past 23 years; our kids were "vacation raised" on the SBI beach. We are leaving for SB tomorrow, renting for a week. While we are there we are looking at approx 30 homes for sale on/off island for future retirement. We did own a lot on the island, but sold it to purchase a lake house in northern WI - sold that this year and we're off to NC to look for our "dream home." Again, thanks so much for your postings. Can't wait to get on that plane tomorrow!

I would love to stay at the beach for 3 weeks!we are headed to the Outer Banks for a weeks vacation tomorrow (with an overnight in DC to break up the trip.). We are renting a house inDuck that is close enough to walk into town, so I'm really looking forward to it. Although packing with 2 kids under 3 is quite an adventure in itself. I need a vacation just from the packing!
