Beachiness.

We signed up for a summer share in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for this summer – weekdays only, which works out just fine with my freelance schedule and also lets us avoid those occasional beach unpleasantries like crazy weekend traffic jams and drunk college students throwing up in the front lawn.

Our house is a sweet little cottage just off the boardwalk (in the afternoons, as you laze around on one of the (two!) porches, the screams of kids on the rides at Playland permeate the air). We took our inaugural trip recently and thoroughly enjoyed salty French fries, gooey pizza, several rounds of Skee-Ball, those old-timey photos booths and potent cocktails overlooking the Bay. Looks like it's shaping up to be a good summer.
