[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’d rather explore a new city and location every time.  I have no desire to keep returning to the same place, so I don’t care about a second home.  [/quote]

I thought I felt that way, but it really is nice having a beach house within a few hours drive.  We can go there all summer when traveling abroad isn’t ideal.  Europe is over crowded, Asia is way too hot.  We typically do South/Central America during one of the kids school breaks.  As long as we take at least one big trip every year and some mini trips, I really enjoy leaving the DC area for a good part of the summer to relax at the beach.[/quote]

Don’t your kids miss their friends? We know people who have second homes on Nantucket and in the Hamptons and their kids are increasingly bothered about leaving friends behind for 10-11 weeks. Plus, they miss summer sports opportunities and the breadth and quality of the camps are lacking. If your goal is to use a home more than a handful of weeks a year it makes sense to hold off until your kids are older. [/quote]
