It's been a while since I sat down to write a new post. I struggled with what to write, even I'm getting bored with my boring updates. Really I'm just telling you that we're still waiting, which by the way we're still doing.
So today I thought about talking about why we're excited about having a vacation home. Since we will be renting the house out as much as we can, we'll be able to decide last minute to take advantage of an unrented week here or there. We'll have to be flexible but if I get sunshine and theme park fun I can do it. Granted the times may be in the off season but that's okay with us.
Having the house will also allow our families the opportunity to vacation. I have a younger sibling who has Cerebral Palsy and the house offers several great features that will make vacationing for my family easier. My brother reacts horribly to mosquito bites and Florida's hot weather makes for lots of those pests. The pool and deck at the house are enclosed with a fine mesh that will keep pests at bay. Secondly, because the house is a bungalow there are no steps that need to be negotiated. Another plus is that both master bedrooms have walk in showers that make for more accessible showering. I am going to try and locate a health care supply company that rents shower chairs so anyone can get one to use if their family member requires. (The second master has a large well laid out walk in shower, that's my Occupational Therapist comment, LOL). Additionally because we have family in different areas of the country it can also serve a a meeting place that we can meet and vacation together.
In the past we've often vacationed with friends, most recently we went on a houseboat. It's always a lot of fun, but having the house will give us the space to spread out if we've got more than one family with kids. It's really cold here today in southern Ontario and I'd like some sunshine and warm weather soon. Hopefully we'll get a chance soon. Have a great day and stay warm wherever you are!
