Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

One of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had. Rehoboth is such a great summer getaway. We flew back east to visit Matt's Mom and her husband Rick at the beach house in Rehoboth. Our best days were spent loading up the pickup truck and heading to Dewey Beach. The beach is the best entertainment any of us could ask for. It is a great family beach and we met so many families that have been coming here year after year. It was almost like everyone knew each other.

After a day in the sun, the girls loved heading to Funland Amusement Park. It is a spectacular boardwalk full of rides, games and food. Rick's Dad worked at Funland so he provided the kids with plenty of tokens to go on the rides!

We also enjoyed riding our bikes into downtown and browsing in the local shops or taking a break for an ice cream treat. It was my first time on an east coast beach, so it was a real treat.

The highlight was our clamming adventure aboard Rick's boat. He let the girls drive and took us to a great sandbar where we could get out, walk along the sand and use a rake to find clams. The kids filled a whole bucket! Then we headed back to the house to make some fresh Clams Casino. Delicious!
