To celebrate my husband's birthday I surprised him with a weekend away at Rehoboth Beach, not the day before we left, but I made the arrangements and told him about it on his birthday, happily, he was as excited as I, and on Friday off we went.
Bags packed ready to, Duke dropped his 'Lamby' (always the name of his current favorite stuffed toy) in between our bags, like he wanted that to be packed too. Sometimes I think dogs are waaaayyyy smarter than we give them credit for.
We saw the winter ocean, I LOVE the winter ocean, walked the empty boardwalk, shopped the cute little shops on the main drag (I even got to pick out a fabulous pair of shoes that I won't see again until Christmas), bought some chocolates at a store where everything is made in house, ate too much, drank just enough (went out to the Dogfish Head Brewery, of which I sadly have no pictures), and all in all had a lovely time.
This sign in a restaurant cracked me up.
Apparently I was having so much fun that I completely failed to take pictures!
A really nice little break from the everyday at a sweet little b&b half a block from the ocean, glad to have gone, glad to come home, a good weekend all the way around.
LOVE the ocean in Winter. It looks gorgeous!

Tilly always brings her leash over to be packed when we're getting ready to leave - it's very hard to tell her sometimes that she's not going to come along (and very happy when she can).
Dogfish Head! Mmm.... Talk about good beer :) (Love the dictionary definition, too.)

Sounds like a wonderful getaway! Two of our friends got engaged on that beach. :-)
