Rehobeth Beach 2018

We just returned from our 2018 summer vacation in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. It was a kid's paradise - beach, carnival rides and games, arcade mini golf, go karts and ice cream - repeat! What could be better when you're a kid?! In fact, my favorite vacations when I was a kid involved those too.

Not quite a relaxing and peaceful mecca for the parents but hey this isn't always all about us. If we hadn't had them then we'd be in Bora Bora or the Maldives or Fiji right now, I'm quite sure. Anyway, those will have to wait til after they are grown and gone.

Back to Rehobeth. We rented a cute little beach house right in town that was 1.5 blocks to the beach and very close to everything else in Rehobeth including some cute restaurants which we walked to most nights.

The first day we did the beach - great waves for boogie boarding and just plain fun. The second day it rained so we explored the coast of Delaware and Maryland and their beach towns. That night we saw Mary Poppins at the local community playhouse which was great fun for all (including Papa who came to join us on part of our vacation - thanks Papa!).  The next day proved to be another great beach day and by Wednesday we were ready to do more exploring as we took the ferry from Lewes, Delaware to the tip of Cape May, NJ where we had lunch and walked around and sampled some of their fudge. Bonus was we got to see schools of dolphins on our way over to Cape May (and we saw even more at the beach in Rehobeth too - Austen jumped out of the water at first because he thought they were sharks!).

Thursday and Friday we hit the beach again and we worked in 2 rounds of mini golf, one night of go karting (Hailey driving was hilarious), multiple arcade sessions, lots of carnival rides and games and of course ice cream every single night with jimmies.

Another summer vacation in the books and probably one of our last as next summer we'll only be vacationing at our beach house in Michigan!

Austen loved the go karts. I did not. Too many crashes for my liking!

Ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream!

Bumper cars were a hit with all!

Hailey made us drive 30 minutes to this dinosaur mini golf place. She loves her dinosaurs! I had to take a picture at each hole with a different dinosaur. This is just one of many!
