Last summer, we took advantage of a deal offered at Bass Pro Shops - for $100, we got two nights at a Bluegreen vacation club in Williamsburg, VA and a $100 Bass Pro Shop gift card. So, free vacation, right? We had a wonderful time - and then had to sit through the vacation club spiel. We caved. We bought in at a VERY entry level - enough for a short vacation every two years, probably - but Greg kept saying repeatedly "We're professional vacationers now, baby!"
So, we're taking our first "professional vacation" at the Bluegreen resort in Atlantic City (there are about 50 resorts nationwide) for our 6th anniversary. We're right smack dab on the beach...

And there's a pool and a hot tub... (and a sauna, steam room, and a weight room, but I didn't take pictures of those.)
The hotel has a game room, which we didn't expect but is pretty cool.
But the best part about being professional vacationers instead of just booking a hotel room is the room. We got a studio - the resort offers one and two bedrooms as well - but even the studio offers a full kitchen, a large bathroom (with a whirlpool tub!) and comes stocked with plates, pots and pans, and glasses, including wine glasses. Which made me very happy.
So these professional vacationers fully intend to spend most of the day on the beach. After I go to the Salvation Army, because after all, it IS Wednesday. And it should be a better day today for the beach than yesterday... we arrived to a thunderstorm and TORRENTIAL downpour. The road outside our resort turned to a river. A couple of trash cans even floated away.
Vacation time!
