Bethany Beach

Well we survived our much needed vacation.  I must say that this is one vacation I was desperate for.  I needed to get away and decompress like never before.  With work slowing down and nothing on the horizon has gotten me a little tense to say the least.  I finally let go on Sunday and just enjoyed our vacation.  

Bethany Beach, DE

I chose Bethany Beach to get the best of both worlds.  We could go to Bethany with the ocean or we could drive on up to Lewes and go in the bay.  So we could have waves one day and calm waters the next.  That is exactly what we did.  The ocean had some waves.  Especially the last day they were rough.

Can we say plumbers crack?

Lewes, DE was awesome for the kids.  You could walk out quite far and didn't have to worry about a wave talking one of them out.  We watched the Cap May Lewes Ferry come and go many times while we were there.  We never did decide to do it.  Maybe another time.

The second time we were there the tide was out and there were sandbars for the kids to play on.

He was so proud of his new board.

It wouldn't be complete without a visit to the boardwalk to go to Playland now would it.  We went to Rehoboth boardwalk and not O.C.  It was cheaper and less wild.  We actually went back the last night we were there.  It was suppose to rain and the kid wanted to go so why not.  It was poring outside and there was hardly anyone inside.

The last day there we went back to Bethany and it was brutal that day.

The kids really wanted to try out their new boards that day but the waves had other ideas.  The were able to use them a little bit just not as much as they wanted.

Trying to use all our tickets.

While driving and looking for a place to eat dinner we saw a double rainbow.  You can kind of see the second one above the other one.  That was pretty cool to see.  

All in all we had a great time.  I wouldn't have minded staying longer but we must return to reality and the bump and grind.
