Well, we have made it through day one of our trip. We decided that driving through the night would be the best things in terms of the kids traveling a looooong time in the car. So, we left around 10 at night from Weymouth and headed south. The kids were more excited about watching movies in the car than anything else. We had a pretty easy time of it driving down. It was a bit misty rainy on the way down, but Doug handled it well. I slept off and on on the way down. We went from Massachusetts, to Rhode Island...then the long trek through Connecticut. Into NYC, New Jersey and then we saw the lights of the Delaware Memorial bridge in the wee hours of the morning. He tried to take a rest around 4 AM, but the kids wanted no part of that!! So, we got back on the road. We arrived in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware at around 8:30 or 9 AM. We drove around a bit, checked some room rates and then decided to stop for a bite.
We went to Sammy's for some pancakes and waffles. Then for a little walk around the boardwalk and the shops before we decided where we would stay the night. We checked into the Admiral Hotel at around 10 am and as luck would have it, we could get into our room. I was excited to wash the road trip off me and then we were on our way. We are on the floor that has the pool and the sign there just cracked me up. We went off in the hot weather to explore. We played some arcade games and the kids won some prizes. We checked out some of the shops,then the crankies set in. We headed back to the hotel at around 1 for some R&R. We all fell asleep for a bit and then Meghan was off the wall again. Doug took her out for a walk, an ice cream, a lemonade...does she have her Daddy wrapped around that pinky finger or what?? Liam and I woke up close to 4 and then Nolan did shortly thereafter.
We headed out for a bite to eat and then off to Funland for the rides. It was really the kids first experience with amusement park rides. They loved them! Daddy even took his turn on the dragon ship, I guess you really are never to old to enjoy the rides!! There was the one ride that scared the bejeesus out of Nolan. It brought them up into the air and then dropped them. They did go on that with Daddy, so I guess it made it a little easier. Meghan, of course, loved it!!!
After the rides, we went off in search of an ice cream for Mommy and Liam and some cotton candy for Meghan. Pink, of course. Then a little stroll on the boardwalk and back home to bed. Tomorrow is another day of adventure for us!
