Our family spent a week relaxing along the Delaware and Maryland seashore. We strolled along the many boardwalks, dug our feet into the sand, felt the cold water from the Atlantic Ocean, saw wild ponies and brought back seashells as treasures to remind us of the fun we had together.
Our week long getaway started with a short drive down the beach with a stop at Dover AFB. Home of the mighty C-17 and C-5. Gigantic USAF planes used to carry enormous loads. We saw one land as we were driving through base.

We got to the beach around dinnertime so we stopped off at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware for a burger at Five Guys. We also shopped along the boardwalk and picked out a kite to fly during our stay in Ocean City.
Next we took the quick 20 minute drive along Route 1 (with ocean views) and arrived at The Golden Sands Condo. We're so lucky to get this vacation each summer thanks to Ernie's parents' and their generosity. We unloaded the car and put on our swimsuits and headed down to the ocean for a nighttime walk on the beach and some great kite flying. We flew our new kite until it started to get dark and saw lightning over the ocean. Josie was so worried the kite was going to fall into the ocean, but luckily it didn't.
We spent the next few days beach side in the morning building sand castles and playing in the surf. The water was cold, but it felt great to be cooled off on the warm summer day. The kids built drip castles and even body surfed.
