Vacation Home

For our vacation on the occasion of my sister's wedding we all stayed at this cute little Cape Cod house -- IF by little you mean a 6,000 sq ft mansion.

The bedrooms were large enough to fit entire branches of the Nod clan in them. We fit two queen size beds, two cribs, a sleeping bag and bedroll, 5 suitcases, and 7 totes into ours and still had room to walk around.

My brother fit his 5 into another bedroom. The one over the 3-car garage holds another 6 beds. The master suite has its own bed, bath, and sitting room. The side porch features a fenced outdoor shower to get off all the sand from the beach. The back porch has 3 seating areas. The living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen were all correspondingly huge.

Maybe we should trade the owner of that house for our modest little abode. Any house that can swallow 25 people without blinking is dying to have Nods in it. Then again, who wants to clean that monstrosity?

That's the kind of place that's nice to visit, but there's no place like home.
