Tic Toc, Tic Toc, it seems like summer is flying by. Best weather ever that we all remember. Rehoboth Beach boasts a mile long boardwalk. It gives the locals and residents opportunities for walking, jogging, cycling or just sitting back on one of the iconic benches and people watch.
Sunday night brought our coastal area a full moon, no humidity and plenty of crowds.
On the Bandstand Oh Boy was entertaining the crowds. A tribute to Rockabilly.
From the top of the Greene Turtle, the following photos were taken.
On the south side of the Boardwalk attractions for the whole family include Funland, a family-owned amusement park that has been a lardmark on the Boardwalk for more than 50 years. That’s when Debbie and I decided to play whac a mole.
The night was still young and families were having fun.
And, on the north side of The Boardwalk amusements and Boardwalk Grub…pizza!!
It seems tonight everyone was eating ice cream. Look at the lines. The Ice Cream Store has more than 100 flavors and some of them are the craziest.
See you…..enjoy the rest of the summer.

It was my first time at the 3rd Annual Picnic in The Park at Canalfront Park, in Lewes, Delaware. One of my usual suspects, Cindi, came with me. My first thought was Small Town U.S.A. To see everyone sitting around, chatting, smiling and enjoying one beautiful day by the water in the First Town of the First State. This photo says it all.
Picnic in The Park was held on Sunday, June 1st, from Noon until 3 p.m. at Canalfront Park on Front Street in Lewes. The admission, if purchased online, was $10, otherwise, $15 at the door. Kids 12 and under were $5. Food and beverage tickets were $2 each at the event. I bought $20 for Cindi and I.
Lewes restaurants were under their tents offering visitors their best and most well known delicacies: Agave, Buttery, Gilligan’s, Half Full, Irish Eyes, Jerry’s, Kindle, Nectar, Rose and Crown, Savannah Deli and Grille, Striper Bites, Touch of Italy, and 2 Dips. These restaurants gathered around the park and from beef tenderloin chili and fresh cornbread to lobster salad sandwiches….all you had to do is give them 1 or 2 tickets, depending on the food and let the tastings begin.
Plenty of tables to sit, eat, and listen to the music.
 Agave  Nectar  Dogfish Head The kids were having a blast with games you never see anymore.
The Cow Milking Contest….that, I had not seen before, but was so funny. It had a lot of interest.
Cindi and I loved the Cotton Candy. It was just made…so light and airy and complimentary. As a young child I had a cotton candy machine; a small version of the one at the park. Colorful sugar made beautiful cotton candy.
I love the photo of the 2 Cotton Candy Girls….right by Lightship Overfalls, they were experts at the Cotton Candy machine….and so typical.

Shopping, dining, swimming and having fun….all in one square mile. That’s Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. One stop does it all!! That’s why is the perfect vacation destination.
L.E.H. Soap Company has been in Rehoboth Beach for more than a few years. Their headquarters are in Marmora, New Jersey, and that’s where hundreds of small batches of soaps are handmade, hand cut and hand wrapped.
The shop in Rehoboth Beach carries all of their products. You need to stop by, smell the soaps and sample them by all means. The Store Manager is Cinda Dera. The beauty of shopping at these unique stores in Rehoboth Beach is that the owners and managers are so friendly. Nobody is rushing you….you are the center of attention. Cinda knows everything there is to be known about L.E.H. products. The store appeals to your senses….sight, touch, and smell!!
Some shops appeal to a specific gender or age….not here. Men, Women, the young and the matured….and even something for your dog, as well.
 
Speaking of dogs….The Doggie & Me Balm products are for skin dry spots, paw pads, dry noses, elbows, and they ease sores, as well. It is an organic and all natural beeswax based balm. Nothing but the best for the pooch in your life.
Besides their own L.E.H. products, they also carry soaps, lotions and scents from the best companies. Once again, Cinda can give you a run down on the ingredients and the purpose of each product.
Just close your eyes and smell some of the soaps. It is such distinct scent…almost as if you are holding the fruit or flower.

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….
FORT MILES was built in 1941. This coastal fortification defended assets along the Delaware River and Bay such as oil refineries and factories, as well. More info?

REHOBOTH BEACH MUSEUM….I always say that this is a starting point whether you have been visiting Rehoboth Beach for years or your first time. It is located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue by thye roundabout as you enter Rehoboth Beach, right by the Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor’s Center. Telephone 302-227-7310. Check the exhibits by visiting http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org. It is a very friendly museum….your kids would like it, as well.
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.
