Rehoboth Beach


We have just returned from a two day trip to Rehoboth Beach, one of my favorite places. Our son and grandson joined us there for a little beach fun. We spent the day playing in the waves, making sandcastles and flying a kite. All of that activity can make a body hungry. We started talking about what we wanted to eat. The boardwalk has so many tantalizing foods that are part of a beach vacation. We agreed to start with a big pizza from Grottos. The problem we had was that we were only there for two days and our tummies just couldn't hold all of our cravings. Obviously we had to find room for a bucket of Thrashers fries. Then all the other goodies were there for us. An orange/vanilla twist cone from Korhs custard, a big candied apple, caramel corn, chocolate covered strawberries , funnel cakes, cotton candy, shaved Hawaiian ice and salt water taffy were all tempting us. We just couldn't eat it all, which was a little sad. We bought some goodies to bring home and stopped at one of many produce stands along the road home. I thought our tummies would appreciate some fresh fruits and vegetables after our day of boardwalk gorging.

What food do crave when you are on the boardwalk?

Freshly caught and cooked fish in beer batter, with real chips, not those silly stringy things, the ones like we used to chop up and make at home - you can still buy them in some independently owned fish and chip shops in Australia - not many, but mmm am hungry now actually

Oh Mom, I want to go to the beach with you! I love hot dogs at the boardwalk, and cold cones like you, and fries too...I get scared of the waves but love to make castles...

God gave you a precious gift those 2 days...thanks for sharing..He speaks through you so wonderfully.
