To begin with..... two really good things about our trip were the car, a large (red) mini van whose model I have already forgotten (Dodge Caravan?), and the house. The car was perfect because there was plenty of room; Brock sat in the middle row & Sasha in the back. There was minimal squabbling!! The house was lovely, comfortable and spacious. Its location was interesting, as the development is situated right behind a Home Depot store.
So, favorite things we did:
- Fishing! I took you Sasha to a fishing pier one evening; it was beautiful and breezy, but not many fish around. Much better, you and Steve spent a morning fishing out on Delaware Bay. The fishing was great! Here's a great post from 'NCFE' --> Gone Fission The pictures below are wonderful - what a lot of disgusting fish bait (those squid are looking right at us!!).
- Brock, I think your favorite was probably swimming in the pool at our condo complex. I enjoyed soaking up the sun, and we had a good time playing with boogie boards.
- Walked around downtown Lewes one evening. It's a quaint, historic town & I loved the harbor area. Look up and you'll see a picture of the Lewes Canal at the top of 'Carroll Boys'.
- Spent time at Cape Henlopen State Park, where the fishing pier was located. It has an ocean beach, which we enjoyed while Brock swam (waves were a bit strong & breaking very close to shore). We also went to Fort Miles, which was a significant military site during World War II. There are some massive artillery guns on display. Read more here--> Fort Miles And see pictures below.
- Went to Rehoboth Beach, where we had time at the beach and walked around to stores & boardwalk. Stopped into Candy Kitchen, Fisher's Popcorn and T-shirt stores.
- Spent a bit too much time on Rt 1, which is an 8-lane highway along a massive commercial strip.
Sincere thanks to our photographer Steve!! Vacations are very special, and I'm already looking forward to next year !
