I don't think I mentioned this last year but my family owns two summer houses here, next door to each other. One is a three-bedroom house, but the other one has 6 rooms. We'll be using all the rooms this year in both houses to fit everyone. The bigger house is the one that I'm in now. I have not stayed in this house in a couple years.
