New year = vacation booking

Our family sat down yesterday and booked this year's vacation.  We had purposely saved to make this year's vacation special since there is a good chance this will be the last one we get together.  Robert is planning to enlist in the Navy and will be able to do so at the end of May.  That will mean in 2018 when he graduates, we have know idea when he'll need to be reporting, so we decided to make this one awesome.  After our fabulous trip last year, our family decided we wanted to go back to the Outer Banks again.  We decided that since we had saved, we would allow ourselves to splurge on the lodging.  We have a rented a house that is soundfront and it's located in an amazing resort with ocean front pools and snackbars and so many amenities it's just amazing.  It's hard not to wish away the next five months, but we definitely don't want to do that.  It sure will be fun when it happens though!
