Were you at the Delaware Beaches today? Gorgeous, wasn’t it? I was driving from Bethany Beach to Rehoboth Beach and I was thinking….how lucky if this road was your commute every single day. It was for my husband. No traffic, the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Bay on the other.
The beautiful Indian River Bridge was bright today. Have you seen in the evening?
Going through it and looking at the expansive views, is a scenery I love and never get tired of looking.
So many events and fun things to do while vacationing at the Delaware Beaches. I live here and have not done it all. Being on the beach is just the beginning….

As much as I love the ocean, I really have come to enjoy the bay so much. Late afternoons just to sit on a beach chair, it is so relaxing.
On the Bay the sunsets are awesome!! Spring is around the corner….it is in the air. Have a good one.
