Your dad's farm sounds like Heaven!!!
In a way I've got the best of both worlds - hubby's got the corporate job, but we've got a couple of acres out in the country and live close to both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
When we first moved here last year we took a trip over to Assateague Island....it's $10 to get on the island (Virginia side) but the pass is good for 7 days. A year long pass is $15........needless to say, we spent the extra $5 and go very frequently.
My husband was offered a job in Salisbury, MD, with Perdue Chicken ... we almost took it, because we're dying for seafood after so many years in the Midwest!
I know being here is the best thing at this time (because it's what we were offered just when our savings ran out!), but as the boys get older, I really wish we had farm work for them to do. Not to mention an endless supply of free catfish!
