My DH's extended family (including us) go on a weeklong beach vacation every other year. This year we're having trouble coming up with a place. It has to be driving distance from MI, DC and NY. We've done Outer Banks, Lake Michigan (near Traverse City), and Deep Creek Lake MD. It's getting harder and harder to find a place. there are 14 of us, and only four kids now (mine being the youngest.) Finding a house that fits us all is hard. Luckily, cost isn't really a factor (MIL loves to joke about spending our inheritance). Of course DH and I would love the OBX again, but it's really far for everyone else. I'm not doing Lake Michigan again, that was ridiculously far for us. Where else should we look? We've looked at the Poconos but haven't been able to find waterfront houses that are big enough. (Oh, that's another thing, one SIL refuses to look at places that are not waterfront.) We've also looked at the Jersey Shore, but there's nothing that fits our family that's beachfront. I appreciate any suggestions you guys have.
