Nope, we don't spend Saturdays basking in the sun, while listening to the laughter of our children as they play in the gentle waves that tickle their cute little toes. 
Our Saturdays are spent at Villa Rentals checking in the many wonderful vacationers who chose our great beach town for their vacation. But, this summer I did find myself curiously envious of all these families getting to pack and prepare for a family vacation and all the fun yet to be had. And I realized that for the next 10 years, summer vacations will not be a reality for us. But, yesterday was the first Saturday in 6 months that we were all home together and we had a fantastic day! I quickly realized just how very lucky I am to have the family that I have and a business that keeps our family going. While I might not get the opportunity to vacation myself, I get to provide vacations for others. And when all the vacationers have gone home and all the kids are back in school, I get to look forward to spending a Saturday at the beach too.
