Broadkill Beach 2011 - days 3 & 4

Monday after breakfast the 7 of us piled in our car and made the 20-minute trip to Rehoboth, to walk the boardwalk, buy Dolle's Saltwater Taffy and Candy Kitchen fudge, eat french fries, and visit Funland.






Tuesday we were back on Broadkill beach for swimming, tubing, kayaking, bug bites, and - later- sunset.

Broadkill Beach 2011 - day 2

Sunday was our first full day at the beach house.

On Saturday we had jammed the car full of supplies and food and toys, and made the three-hour drive to Milton, arriving around 3pm.  Our usual vacation spot is a much longer drive, so the short commute was a real plus.  Grams & Pops (Scott's parents) and Aunt Chris (his sister) arrived a short while later.  After figuring out sleeping arrangements, doing some light cleaning (ugh), and unpacking (ugh, ugh), we took a couple bike rides, and checked out the beach.

Sunday could be summed up like this:  RAIN.  We couldn't resist riding bikes, and hanging out on the beach anyway.  Needless to say, we were all soggy afterward.  The rainbow at the end of the day was a good sign, though.
