May 10, 2013 - A Little Bit More Refined Beach

A very short drive north, only about 30 miles, we arrived at our next stop which was Rehoboth Beach, DE. This was just a one night stop, and there are 2 reasons for it. We did want to see Rehoboth Beach as we had heard a lot about it, and were very impressed. Like Ocean City, it also has a boardwalk, although it is much shorter and there are no amusement park rides; however, they still offer the same foods which we all know are necessary to maintaining high nutritional standards, such as caramel corn, cotton candy, salt water taffy, corn...

Aug 12, 2012 - Fun With Friends

Saturday - 8/11 we went with our friends Leslie and Ellen to Barb and Wendy's (more friends) who live in Rehoboth Beach. We were also joined by another friend, Barb, who also lives in the area. Wow - 5 friends in one area ... and all trying to convince us to think about relocating to this area, instead of our "Bucket List" choice of Tenn. We had lots of laughs reminiscing the "good old times at Camp Akiba" (we even made a "speaker call"" to another friend, Marie who is now in Ohio)! Caught up on where and what has happened to everyone since...

Oct 18, 2011 - Rehoboth Outlets

There is no sales tax in the state of Delaware so the outlet shops are a huge draw for shoppers wanting a bargain. I looked and looked for a new black wool blazer but struck out at places like Talbots, Jones of N.Y., Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, etc. Fortunately, Maria and Theresa had better luck. Even Danny went home with a bag full of stuff from Van Heusen. All Em and I came home with was new socks! Theresa headed back to Maryland after our day of shopping but Danny and Maria were able to stay for dinner. Em made a pork roast , sauerkraut,...

Aug 19, 2011 - Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

We were on the road by 9:30 this morning. On I85 at exit 12 we bought Shell gas for $3.249 a gallon. We drove to Norfolk, Va, and followed the signs to the Bay Bridge Tunnel. We made a quick stop to turn off the refrigerator and the propane gas...that is required for a trip through the tunnel. All the pictures taken on the bridges and in the tunnels were made through Arvy's windows as we drove. Please excuse any reflections or fuzziness. The toll for our tunnel trip was $28. The height clearance is 13.5 feet. We cleared easily but some of...

Oct 27, 2008 - Deleware Seashore

What can we say about Delaware? It is very flat with huge areas of natural wildlife preserves. There are 100s of acres of farmland. It has a beautiful shoreline that is largely incorporated into a state park, so it is undeveloped and very natural. There are also no trees to break up the wind coming in off the ocean. While we were there, the wind was very strong and gusty. Even though our unit is heavy, it really rocked in the gusts. We also had a VERY heavy thunder storm to add to our memories. Because of the sand and his crutches, Tony was...

Nov 13, 2007 - Lothian - Rehoboth, Delaware

We depart the Washington, DC area and follow Highway 2 to Annapolis, where we crossed over yet another toll bridge on Hwy 50,took Hwy 404 through Maryland, to the state of Delaware. Hwy 404 is part of the old Underground Railroad. Both Connor & Evan read books about slavery, Evan actually reading the 'Underground Railway to Canada', so this was very interesting for them, seeing the area where this actually took place. The Underground Railroad was a secret network of people who helped slaves escape to Northern States or Canada, where slavery...

Oct 11, 2007 - Delaware Seashore

The Delaware Seashore has been our home since Tuesday. The land seems flat compared to the hills of Pennsylvania which Ray maneuvered very well even with the 6 to 7% grades. We passed many mushroom farms just before crossing into Delaware. Our campground is a state park which offers full hookups..water, sewage, and electricity. It seems unusual for a state or national park. Unfortunately the weather hampered us going to the ocean so we went sightseeing. The two storms had heavy winds and much lightning. We were very glad we had a 5th wheel...

Sep 27, 2007 - Beating the Heat

Ah ha..... We just couldn't take another day in the heart of Washington DC with this heat so what do you think we did?????? No, not stay home and rest, we went to the BEACH..... Well it took us 120 miles to get there but that is just what we did.... It gave us a good chance to stay in our air conditioned truck and rest our feet for about 2 ½ hours..... The drive was quite interesting so let me tell you all about it...... We started out going South on the 495 By-pass till we got to Hwy 50 where we exited East.. .. Now the last time I talked...

Nov 13, 2005 - Let's Go!

Well, we thought we could come back from Puerto Vallarta, throw our items in the motor home and leave in 2 days. Didn't work out that way. Took us a week. Then, as our last item, Rob was winterizing the house and found that one of the water intake valves had gone ca-flooie. Sooo...an emergency weekend call to the plumber. The good thing...he came immediately...and the other good thing - that was our requisite bad luck for the trip. Done. Finished.
