so today we (ethan, lee catherine, adam, and i) went to Bethany Beach in Delaware. Now this place was pretty cute, but the whole day was quite the experience.
we were supposed to get up at 7 since its a three hour drive, but we ended up leaving around 9 because no one but me actually woke up, lol. in any case, we then began our long drive to the beach. it was such an experience because im used to either walking down to the beach, or driving less than 20 min to get there. here, you have to completely plan it out, drive through states, and take an entire day.
in any case, we got on our way, with the boys in the front, and an argument on directions...big surprise. so we finally make our way out of dc, through maryland, and into delaware. as adam said, it is amazing to me that the state of delaware has representation in congress and dc doesnt, bc delaware is a whole lot of nothing. i mean, i would never want to live there. everything is so far apart and, i dont know, hokey looking. it made me realize how much of a city/cali girl i am, lol.
so we get to the beach, go and get some beer, pick up some burgers and fries, and and actually walk on the boardwalk (a real boardwalk! shocking, i know) and down to the beach...where there are dunes before you actually get to the sand. that was a foreign concept to me before today too, lol. anyway, we had a great time laying out, getting caught with beer on the beach (oops), and trying to best the atlantic ocean (we lost). i can now say that i have been in both oceans and i definitely prefer the pacific. but thats just me. by the end of the day we had gotten a parking ticket, found one of the parking meters open and gained back the price of the ticket, and had a lovely pizza dinner with ice cream for dessert. then, to cap it all off....the navy band was there and they sang a montage of Hairspray songs. talk about random.
so we finally left around 830, i played dj in the front seat while lee catherine drove, and we got home at 1130. it was a true day at the beach.
