[quote=Anonymous][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]

They miss them for like the first few days, but then they are back into spending their summer with their beach friends. They’ve grown up with these kids, coming back each summer to hang out together. It’s a great whole nother community!![/quote]
