This was our family's first ever vacation together. We are a blended family. I have 2 children (son, 38 & daughter, 33) and my husband has a son, 26. My son has 2 children 3 & 5 and my daughter has 4 children, 10,8,5 & 3.
We went out on a limb and planned a whole week vacation, hoping & praying for the best as we have had a strained relationship with our son-in-law. He came down on Sunday (we arrived Sat) and the plan was he would stay until Wednesday. Well by Wednesday he was trying to figure out a way to stay another day, Thursday arrived and he was trying to figure out a way to stay till Friday!!!! Unfortunately he had to leave for a work issue on Thursday, but he stayed as long as he could on Thursday. He texted multiple times to say how much he enjoyed his time at the house and with the family.
This was the most memorable time our family has spent together!! We loved the pool, the closeness of the beach, the pool table (my hubby's sport) and the spaciousness of the house. Plenty of seating for everyone at the tables, as we cooked every meal instead of taking the risk of going out to restaurants and catching the dread Coronavirus. The private bedrooms with their ensuites accommodated each adult and was spacious and very comfortable. The girls (2) had their own cute little oasis and the boys (3) had their private "club" area.
The house has gracious plenty of room for everybody for anything. Playing pool, dining, movie watching, playing hide-n-seek, cornhole by the pool and on the deck and acting out PJ Masks cartoons!!!! LOL
We even had family photos taken on the beach!!
I can't thank the Gautheirs enough for their hospitality and for opening their beautiful home to our family... Many wonderful memories were made, shared and enjoyed!!
Thank you so much, we look forward to returning next year and with everyone staying the WHOLE week!!
Blessings,
Jon & Robin Alion
