Left for a Week in Bethany Beach!

Friday evening Ken and I packed and loaded the CRV for our week's vacation in Bethany Beach with our 2 daughters, their husbands, and our 4 granddaughters.  We were on our way by 8:45 on Saturday morning after taking a 2 mile walk.  Traffic was so heavy, especially when we got close to Rehobeth Beach.  It was bumper to bumper in that town!  Thought this would be a relatively quiet time at the beach since a lot of the schools are either starting this week or next.  But it certainly doesn't appear to be true!  The beach towns are so crowded and busy!

We arrived around 1:15 and the Condo we are renting was cleaned and ready for us.  We have stayed a week at this same place for the last 3 summers and it works out so well for our family.  I just prefer to have my own bed, bath, etc.  I guess Willie has me spoiled!!!  We were unloaded and unpacked by the time our daughter Jamie, her husband Dane, and their 2 daughters, Bria and Cali arrived.  Lanie, Bob, Samantha, and Katelyn will only be here from Tuesday till Saturday. 

The goggle princesses!!!

By 4 we were organized and the men had inflated a pool for the little ones.  Jamie and I headed to the grocery store, which was very busy.  We picked up 1/2 baked Grotto pizzas to eat at the condo.  If you never had Grotto pizza, you don't know what you are missing!  Their pizza is the best!!!!  After spending sometime at the playground, we headed into Bethany Beach to see the Ocean and get some ice cream.  They were having a concert on the Boardwalk, so again the traffic was crazy!

Mommy liked the playground too, but skinned her elbows
going down the slide!!!

Our 1st day at the beach was a delightful one!
