Three days removed now from what I consider the best vacation ever, it all just seems like a big tease. Imagine living in a mansion on the beach, where everyday the weather is 85° and sunny, 15 of your closest friends are your roommates, you have an in-ground pool, hot-tub, back(bocce)yard, observation deck, about a mile of wrap around deck, a pool table, and no need to work. Now imagine all of that being yanked away and getting thrown back into reality. I know that all vacations must come to an end, but this one was really hard to have to say goodbye to. Eight months of planning and anticipation gone in 6 super quick days. I miss it all so much. Saturday morning was pretty depressing, I didn’t want to leave. It was almost on the same par as a bad break up. No matter how bad I didn’t want it to be over, the truth was that it was.
It was the perfect mix of company, barring a couple of M.I.A.’s. It awesome to see Vinnie and Jay back from the dead too. The whole week seems like a blur to me, I’m finding it hard to segment the week into days. It really turned out to be everything I hoped it would be. I mean how could it not, though? Other than a few unfortunate situations, the week was amazing. I really want this to become a new tradition, and I hope with the same group. Not even necessarily go to OBX every year (although I would have no issue with that what-so-ever), but a week long vacation somewhere with everybody in a big house during the summer. I think we’re all at the ages now where something like that is pretty feasible. I just keep replaying the week in my head, and I just want MORE!
I think my favorite part of the vacation is the fact that I can’t name my one favorite part of the vacation. It was all so great. Jet skiing, getting the kite up to 2500 feet, the nightly observation deck sessions, the beach, mad seafood, dueling guitars, random girls roast, drinking till the wee hours, card games, bocce, the pool, the hot-tub, parts of us seeing horses and driving on the beach, driving slowly, basketball tournament, Vinnie falling the first day, Jeff screaming into the shrubs on the first day, ryan jumping into the pool on the first day, the 50 foot wizard staff, Jay Berk 16th Level Wizard, party pyramid, jet ski accidents, night swimming in the atlantic, pool volleyball, pool basketball, Davitt’s good morning to Ryan’s family, free* floats, sleeping a lot, roof sitting, a lot of grocery shopping, the Olympics, WHAT ELSE?
Best vacation ever.
