Need a ride to Funland? Remember me? I am Miss Sophia and I am a little bit new at posting on a blog. So give me a chance. I will improve. There is nothing better than living at the beach! It is my playground. On such a hot week-end a day at the beach was a must.
Rehoboth Beach has parks and plenty of places to have a picnic. One of my favorites past times. I am a foodie at heart so a little to eat outdoors is always priceless!
Kids coming to Rehoboth Beach will soon find out that the Boardwalk is the life of the town. Lots of fun for young ones like me. But there is one place where the whole family will enjoy. That is Funland located at 6 Delaware Avenue and the Boardwalk. There are a lot of young kids attractions but the thrill rides that the older ones like, are also there. It opens daily at 10 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. The website is http://www.funlandrehoboth.com.
We had just been at Nicola Pizza, having dinner and a delicious Nic-o-Boli. Website? http://www.nicolapizza.com.
It was in June and the weather was still a bit cooler. So off we went to Funland. First thing my Grandmas and my Mom wanted to do was Whack-a-mole. This game was invented so long ago, in 1976. We had just gone from Nic-o-Boli to Whack-a-mole!! I was not sure about why all the screaming, but they thought it was fun. So here I am with my Mom. A Nikon Moment.
The beautiful carousel was more my speed at this stage of my life. I forgot to tell you but I have been busy mastering the art of walking. I am a bit stiff but it is definitely getting much better.
I know I am very serious on my photos but I can assure you that I was having fun. haha
I think the boat rides are the same price of so many years ago. On the first photo you can see my Dad on a green boat when he was little. He is not smiling either. On the other photo is where I am. A green boat, as well. 1 ticket per ride still!! A bargain.
Early evening is a good time for Funland. It is quieter than later at night.
I am going on the cutest little engine ride.
And then on the Police Car.
Oh no, I did not know about this next ride….but here they were taking me too!!
It was getting late and more people were starting to come in. It is right off the Boardwalk so it such an easy walk from all points in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. I will get the hang of all these rides as I get older but my first experience was a “blast”. Talk to you later!!

After spending a few hours with Pete, my handyman, I decided to order a pizza from Nicola. I deserved it. Pete drove me crazy and there was nothing like a slice of pizza for instant gratification.
This is the 3rd time I have ordered pizza in a week. Right in downtown Rehoboth Beach, all those 3 pizza joints are within walking distance of one another. So, you have your pick. And we all do; it is a matter of taste.
Like Ed, a resident from Rehoboth, who says he can eat pizza every day and has given me other places to try. He has his preferences of what type of cheeses should be used, thickness, and toppings.
Last night there was a show on t.v. and it was all about the pizzas in New York City and Chicago. New York pizza won. The difference between the 2? The thickness with New York having a thin crust and Chicago was deep dish pizza.
I made my call and ordered a small cheese, well done, and thin. They asked me if I wanted a pan (personal) pizza or the regular. Of course, the regular. It would be ready in 20 minutes and it was.
Nicola Pizza does not need any introduction here at the beaches; it is also an institution that opened up in 1971. It is a family business.
They are located at 8 N. 1st Street. Tel. 302-227-6211. The website is www.nicolapizza.com.
Nicola is proud to inform its patrons that they drain the fat from the beef, blend three kinds of cheeses and use homemade sauce. No additives or preservatives are ever used.
You can dine in or take out and Nicola has a new location right on Rehoboth Ave., around the corner from the original one. I ordered my take out pizza from the original location.
Involved in the community and helping organization to raise funds. For that purpose, just give them a call for more information.
Nicola has specials during the winter and stays open year-round for lunch and dinner. They are also the home of the Nic-O-Boli, which is ground beef, their fat free pizza sauce and a blend of cheeses rolled in fat free dough, then baked in the oven. They do also offer specialty Nic-O-Bolis, as well, like no beef, low carb, and a few more.
Nic-O-Bolis can be bought by the case, frozen. I have given them as gifts before and always appreciated. Just pop them in the oven.
I drove home with my hot pizza and already my car was full of that smell.
I rushed into the house and showed it to my husband, who as you know cannot have it because of his gluten allergy.
I have not had Nicola’s pizza in some time and I thought it was very good. It was thin, crispy and well done. And, the sauce was flavorful and did not overpower the pizza. It came out just like I ordered it.
This time I had a couple of pieces and froze the rest in case I had a craving later on.
Later in the evening I decided to make a gluten free pizza myself. I had bought gluten free pizza dough. The pizza looked good. I added cheese, my own sauce, peppers, onions, mushrooms, anchovies, and sun dried tomatoes. It came out too “doughy” . I will have to perfect it.
Have a great day!!
