Vacation
7/2
Vacation was wonderful. The drive there was long, but Jude was amazing. The girls kept him occupied, but also bickered the entire time they were awake. So they were only half-amazing. We got caught in a massive traffic jam getting into Rehoboth, DE, and sat for 2 hours pretty much, but the kids were amazingly patient about it and we checked in around 4 and got setup. Then we went down and had a wonderful seafood dinner in downtown Rehoboth.
After that we hit the grocery store and stocked up on stuff that we needed.
7/3
We had an amazingly easy time of it getting setup. Poor Tom is not used to having so much *stuff* to camp with, but we got it all in place since we had a decent night's sleep the night before. Soren and Jude fell asleep later on in the day though. It was so cute!
We got all sunscreened up and headed out to the beach finally.
Soren was so cute playing with Jude on the beach. They had a great time together, since neither one of them are that fond of swimming in the ocean. Jude was pretty intimidated by the surf, and it always takes Soren till the end of the week before she's ready to jump the waves.
We went to the fireworks, which were very cool. They shoot them off from a ship out in the ocean. It took us a long time to get back to the campsite, because of the traffic.
7/4 and 7/5
On Monday or Tuesday, I can't remember which, we went to Assateague Island and saw the wild ponies.
The beach there was absolutely lovely. In Rehoboth they are doing work to fix erosion and as a result there are a ton of rocks and shells in the sand because they're pumping it in from the ocean to make dunes. Aside from the seaweed, the beach in Assateague was incredible.
After the island we drove back into Ocean City, MD and had dinner at Phillip's Crabhouse. Their buffet is freaking amazing. I ate way too much.
7/6
More beach. Hot, ocean, loved every second of it.
7/7
Went to Frontier Town. Kids had a blast. Emma got a totally politically incorrect indian outfit and bow and arrow.
To make up for it, we went to the Native American dancing, which ended up being really cool. It's a homeschooling family (they homeschool because they're youngest son was viciously attacked in his private school and hospitalized due to being Native American) and their kids both compete in NA dancing. They are so good it's scary. The boys are 12 and 9. The oldest son painted the girls' faces.
More later. Time to watch a movie with my hubby!
