Well, the trip to Deleware is over. On the trip down, we drove through a big storm, saw Tom, nearly died (at least twice), and learned to sleep in the car at a moments notice (so I could avoid seeing all the near rear ending going on).
First day = teh history? We lathered ourselves with sun lotion (odd oily feeling+sun+exaustion left from drive+sun=moody me...imagine that), saw some history crap, and ate some good cheese steak. Drugs and a getting the lotion off did a lot for my mood.
Second day = teh beach! We drove a long way to get there, spent an inordinate amount of time finding a parking place (more time than we spent on the beach), and me and the wife got some sun (sun = evil day star) while the other two played in the ocean. Were it not for the eleventy-billion people on the beach, it might have been a really enjoyable experience even with the sun. But Jamie got to play in the ocean so that is cool. New experiences are usually worth the hassle.
Day three = teh Bay. (A quick aside for the uninitiated: I don't do water when it is involved in uses that are not directly related to hygene or nourishment. I also don't do things like hunt or fish. Dead flesh is something I eat, but I don't cause.) Wake up bright and early so we can go fishing out on the bay. Now I knew before I left that I was not going to fish...not sure how much anyone else knew about this, but I was solid on it. The fishing slammed by, and with the exception of Lushbaugh's dad almost dying, everyone had a lot of fun. The whole thing, including Lushbaugh's dad getting us lost finding a quicker *cough* way back only took about 6 hours and we were back at the house and sleeping in no time. Later that night we ran to see the fireworks in Dover. I am still not sure what I was expecting, but they were like every other display I have ever seen in person with one minor exception, the city lights.
In addition to all that: The hack got some love in the backyard, home cooked meals were had every night, dart games were played, movies were watched, and general depravity reigned. So all in all, it was a good waste of time. I think the wife is gonna post pics, so I won't waste your time with them.
