School's out for summer ...

The LJ writer's block question the other day was about your fantasy vacation. Here's mine:
A house in the Outer Banks. Not too big -- don't want much to clean, after all -- with a wide covered porch and a porch swing. Or, even better, one of these rope swings.
It would be walking distance to the beach, and with a deck as well as a porch for sunning and outdoor evenings with bee and cigarettes and music. A couple of kites, some boogie boards, a Frisbee, and bikes.
I'd have a book to work on, and plenty to read. The kids would have the beach every day, and a tower room with games and art stuff for rainy days. There would be room for my mom and dad to come down a few different weekends, and maybe my brother and sister-in-law, too.
S. could supervise some summer-long endeavor, like learning to sail or ride horseback, to keep them all busy while I write and read and make dinner, lots of salads and fresh seafood.
Walks on the beach at night, a couple of evenings spent at the amusement park (little, not Six Flags style) for the arcade and the ferris wheel and the Himalaya and the Spider. (And the funnel cakes.)
Rarely not barefoot. Lots of clean fresh salty air. The sound of the tide and the gulls. Games of Scrabble or Pictionary after dinner.
That's where I'd be.
