Some of you may have noticed that The Grandstander has been a bit silent for awhile. This was due in large part because Marilyn and I took ourselves "ahta tahn" recently for a quickie beach trip to....
As I said, it was a quick trip, highlighted by some cool weather, some crowded beaches....
Some great places to eat....
A terrific bookstore...
A ride on the Lewes to Cape May Ferry, a very cool experience....
And one absolutely spectacular storm, which we viewed from our hotel balcony....
Unfortunately, I was unable to capture with my camera some of the fabulous bolts of lightning that were seen that day, as well. The good news was that the storm took place after we had spent all morning at the beach, and it ended relatively quickly, so we were able to head out for the evening. Even got to see American Pharaoh win the Triple Crown while standing in a crowded Rehoboth Beach bar. Exciting.
Of course, it wasn't all good news. A very windy day on our last day at the beach lead to one casualty:
In battles with inexpensive beach umbrellas, Mother Nature still stands undefeated.
This was our second visit to Rehoboth Beach. It is a very nice, very friendly old style east coast beach town. A nice beach, lots of great places to eat (for example, we had ice cream from four different places over the course of our stay), a boardwalk to stroll and people watch, lots of junk food places, too. And t-shirt shops. A countless number of t-shirt shops. I mean, really, how many t-shirt shops can any beach town support?
A great trip...all that we wanted it to be.
