We had a wonderful time on our short trip to my very favorite beach. We arrived at Rehoboth about noon on Monday. The weather was spectacular, with blue sky and the temperature at 80 degrees. We ate outside on the balcony of the Green Turtle, enjoying the sunshine and the view of the beach. After lunch we joined the other cute elderly couples, holding hands while strolling on the boardwalk. Most of the shops were still closed for the season, but the candy stores were open selling salt water taffy and chocolate Easter bunnies. The Kohrs custard shop was open and we enjoyed an orange-vanilla twist cone, the flavor of the beach. We checked into our room at the Avenue Inn, luxury at off-season rates is a lovely thing. After a bit of a rest we drove over to Gordon's Pond, a wetland by another of our favorite places, Whiskey Beach. Walking along the trail we felt like we were very far from the rest of the world. The only sound was the wind, the birds, and the sound of the surf.
Tuesday we woke up to wind and rain. We spent the morning enjoying the warmth of our fireplace and a swim in the indoor pool. After lunch I had a massage. I think there must be a spa in heaven that gives heavenly messages all the time. Later in the afternoon we did a bit of shopping at the outlets.
Wednesday was sunny, but cool. We walked down to the beach and soaked up a final bit vacation time and headed home. It is always good to come home with a heart full of warm memories.

You must have had a wonderful time. Just from your description I want to have a mini vacation like that soon!
How wonderful to spend time in a favorite place with your favorite man. From the sound of it, the place would be a favorite of mine as well!
