People, it's time to get excited! In less than a month the trivialities of summer jobs, full time jobs, and occasional lawn-mowing jobs alike will be left behind as the Fitts family (and guests) converges on the latest house in Whalehead, NC. The house sits between Duck and Corolla, and is a landmark place at that. As previously mentioned, the house is sure to go down as a historic one in the history of family beach trips as it provides some of the most luxurious amenities since the days of Hughes Hideaway. Further information on the house, including slideshow photos, can be found here.
With that in mind, remember for the next four weeks what lies around the corner. Remember that with each Monday morning gone by, we are one step closer to the greatest week of the year. And ladies and gentlemen, this very well could top the charts as the greatest family vacation in the modern era.
With only 3 days left, it may as well be 3 months. For a little less than a year the vacation has resided in the back of our minds, but we are now at the point where painful anticipation can no longer be avoided.
ReplyDeleteAt work morale is up, but productivity is down. This is our yearly reminder that our jobs are a great pass-time, unless all you're doing is watching time pass. Dreaming of trading beltways for boardwalks and boardrooms for beach towels, we all wait impatiently from our separate corners of the DC Metro area to take off on our annual Outer Banks migration.
At home we find ways to prepare for the coming trip, yet when it comes time to leave we feel hardly prepared. Plans are made and supplies are sought, but much of our efforts are a feeble attempt to bridge the gap between now and our time of departure. There have been times over the year we thought of something fun to do or say at this year’s trip, but it’s all been forgotten. By now we know one thing: it’s only 3 days ‘til we get there and Sunday is arriving painstakingly slow.
So as the light at the end of the tunnel transforms from glimmer to glow, we understand that while misery loves company, sometimes you can enjoy misery……if you already love your company.
Look out Whalehead here come the Fittses! (and friends :)
