We left the Saturday after the kids got out of school for our vacation to Bethany Beach. We had such a great time there last year that we went back to stay in the same condo building and, again, we were really happy with our experience there in Sea Colony. It has all the conditions we’re looking for to make for a fun week at the beach!
Immediately, the girls wanted to get in the water and start boogie boarding. They both just love the ocean and play in it ALL DAY long! They had so much fun riding the waves on boogie boards, just playing in the waves, etc.
The weather was great, and we saw quite a few dolphins and porpoises while we were there.
Almost every evening, we’d walk down the beach to the boardwalk area to check out the shops, listen to music, and of course, get ice cream. Nina and Lyla remembered a place on the boardwalk from last year that gave out monster sized cones. So, it was on the top of their list to go back there. The cones this year did not disappoint! :)
Of course we also had to have beach donuts - a dozen didn’t last long!
Each day pretty much had the same routine. The girls would want to go down to the beach early in the morning to look for shells (they found some really cool ones this year). Then they’d come back up and get ready for the day at the beach, then we’d spend all day down at the beach. We’d come back up to our condo for lunch, but then spend the rest of the afternoon swimming, walking on the beach, or playing paddleball (Mark and I’s favorite). On most days, the girls would want to stop by the heated pool outside our condo that was right off the beach. Needless to say, by the time dinner came around, they were exhausted!
To enable them to ride the wave in longer, Mark would sometimes go out and give them a push as the wave swelled, then they could ride it all the way into shore. They had a blast!
