Who doesn't love a trip to the beach?! As the school year wrapped up my sister and I decided to head to Rehoboth Beach with the kids for a quick one night getaway before camps start for the summer. Although the weather was less than desirable, we still had a great time and I know there were many memories made that will last a lifetime!
We drove up Wednesday early morning and were able to check into the Atlantic Sands hotel right on the beach when we arrived. We immediately got on our bathing suits and headed to the beach. After playing for a few hours it started to rain and was chilly so we decided to shower up and head to the board walk. It was my niece and nephew's first time to Rehoboth so it was fun to show them around. We made the obligatory trip to Candy Kitchen and the shops along the board walk. Then we headed down to ride some rides at Fun Land. They will be talking about the haunted mansion for a long time!
Much to our disbelief the sun started to come out so we headed back to the hotel to get on our suits and get a little more beach time before dinner. It ended up being a beautiful time to the be on the beach. The kids had a blast feeding the seagulls popcorn and jumping in the waves.
Unfortunately the weather did not look very nice when we got up on Thursday. We headed to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and did a little shopping on our way back to the hotel. Unfortunately we got stuck in an absolute DOWNPOUR on the way back. We decided we wouldn't melt and made a run for it !
We decided to pack up our things, check out and head to Baltimore Inner Harbor for the day. We started with a quick lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe followed by a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. After spending 5 weeks in Baltimore last summer at Kennedy Krieger it was a little uncanny how well I remembered where everything was. Realizing we finished up just in time for rush hour we decided to stop in to the Ripley's Believe It or Not. This was one place we didn't go last year and wow were we missing out! I didn't think the kids were old enough but they LOVED it! We did the museum, 4-D movie and made wax hands which was a big hit! We learned many interesting facts and Cole especially loved the mirror room with the lights and loud music. I think he could have stayed there dancing all day! After Ripley's the kids decided they were ready for dinner so we had a quick bite to eat at Noodle and Company and headed home.
Although a little better weather would have made for more beach time, we had a great time with our cousins and it was fun spending so much time together. Hopefully this is the first of many!
