Delaware Adventure
On Thursday after school we packed up our things, loaded the truck and went over to Spalding to drop Brian off at his football practice (where he is the Asst. Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator). While we waited we had dinner at Friendly's with MomMom, filling up some time. Around 7, Brian called, we picked him up and off we went for our Delaware Adventure. Spalding's football team was playing a game in Lewes, DE on Friday night so we decided, as we often do, to make a mini vacation out of it. We got in to our hotel, which, unfortunately, was nothing to write home about, around 9:45, got our stuff inside and went right to bed. On Friday morning we were up early, had a continental breakfast at the hotel and headed to Rehoboth Beach. It's a small, quaint little beach community with a beautiful and peaceful beach and a small boardwalk with some restaurants, some typical souvenier shops and a few old standbys like Candy Kitchen and Dolles. We spread our blanket and I spent the next few hours taking pictures as Dakota frolicked in the water and he and his dad built a sand fort. We left our blanket where it was and headed up to check out the boardwalk and found a nice little restaurant along one of the side streets to have lunch. They had delicious food and we were the only customers and we had fun together as we ate. Afterward we got huge, messy ice cream cones and then made our way back to the beach. Another hour or so later, we were ready to leave and went back to the hotel, where the guys got in the pool for a bit and then Dakota and I took a walk through the Cracker Barrel gift shop and I could have spent hundreds of dollars on all the gorgeous fall and winter holiday items they had out. The smells were wonderful and they had old "vintage" candies that I showed to Dakota and wonderful smelling candles, even sweet potato syrup and pancake mix! That's a new one for me!
After our visit to Cracker Barrel it was time to drop Brian off at Cape Henlopen to get ready for his game with his team, but Dakota and I took an extra half hour to drop by the Lewes Ferry station and got to watch a ferry pull in. The game was a good one, although I was completely exhausted by the time we wrapped up after 10pm. A quick dinner I was too tired to enjoy and then I don't even remember getting into the bed. Slept like a rock!
Saturday morning saw us up early and heading home to make Towson's first football game and to get to see Brian David and his girl and his roommate all done up in the TU gear. Brian David has waited his whole life to be part of the college football atmosphere as a student and I was so pleased that his time had finally arrived! Here's a jumble of pictures of all or fun adventures:
