Your go to vacation spots

A vacation with kids sounds like a nightmare.

Words from a guy with no kids, I know.

Yeah, are you and Mrs Matty planning any young'ns anytime soon?

I will let you know my in-laws won the trip. So basically i got go with my in-laws so it could be in the best location in the world and still suck. Honestly I am not looking forward to it but one of those things you got do. I honestly hate mixed family vacations; it just a week of what you want do and juggling everyone's needs.

Duck is pretty much an all beach place with a few things to do. When you get closer to the trip hit me up and I'll send you directions for a back way into Duck. Duck was a small town area back 20 yrs but it has grown into a large resort area with cottage after cottage but the single lane road into Duck is still the same. The nice part is its not filled with any large buildings just cottages. I would advise you take what you need into duck for the first 3 days so you don't have to fight the corwds that come down with nothing then hit the stores. The trafic for the 4th july weekend will suck but after Monday it will get better so you can travel down to Nags Head and other areas to check things out. If you pack enough food and beer just enjoy the beach and relax. What day are you heading down?

It's in the works, no success yet though. Still trying.

I am heading down on Sunday (6/30) I will hit you up for the back way. My trip ends on the following Sunday 7/7.

I kind of got the wheels turning in my wife's head to skip out on the trip I am praying that comes true. I got a brand new house and have plenty to do with it plus we can just do some day trips which is a million times easier with two small kids then hauling their asses half way down the eastern coastline.

It's in the works, no success yet though. Still trying.


Good luck!

Practice makes perfect.

going to the outer banks for the first time, the end of july. anything i need to do/ know?

take advantage of the fishing and seafood if you enjoy either. Id always tell peeps to spend a day or two going down to hatteras and then ferry to Oracoke island. Surf, pier, sound, or deep water are all great options for fishing. Beach is good, but the water is a lil rougher than most places, fyi.

I won a Trip to The Disney Yacht & Beach Club Resort in July. It was a 3 day trip which we are going to stay 3 extra nights so our daughter can really have a good time at Disney World. Funny thing was I had been saving to go to Disney this year and the company I write for just happened to have a sales contest for a trip to Disney.

Make sure to stay on Disney property. More expensive but well worth it. Nobody does it like Disney. It will be.........HOT! You only...Thought MD gets hot. Dress cool and loose. Flip Flops and shorts are acceptable wear for every day.....every occasion in Fl.
Bring a cheap rain pancho for everyone as it will at some time rain for a brief shower every day. It will save from buying them from Disney.

Consider the Fast Pass or whatever they call it as.....no lines to deal with. And they can be formidable.......

Do you know what part or mile marker?
