Leaving the nest is never easy, but in this case it nearly destroyed us. The wife and I discussed which of our children we would be willing to sacrifice in order to stay (it was the teenager). But alas, life happened and our stay has to come to an end. We find joy in knowing a nest never remains empty for long, and one day weâll return.
We traveled to FL to spend thanksgiving with my mom, who also lives in Vista Del Lago. Because my 35 year old brother still struggles to detach from his umbilical cord, he moved back in with mom, along with his family, robbing my crew of our free lodging in the sunshine state. Our silver lining presented in the form of this Blessed Nest.
The hosts were phenomenal; if I were of a higher intelligence I could use a different word to describe them that blows âphenomenalâ out of the water. They were very accommodating, helpful, and understanding of our plight regarding our 17 hour commute from Pennsylvania, offering any help they could in making our transition to their home easier. I wondered whether Mr. Rogers wrote his song with these hosts in mind; I believe he did.
Regarding the home, it far exceeded what is shown and described on the app. It was spacious and extremely clean and organized. My teenagers loved it, and they donât like anything. Iâve stayed in rentals before, but none ever made me feel at home like this one did.
The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and the area had everything one needs nearby. We canât wait to return!
