Jim, the beach is fascinating - every day it's a new world. In winter I have it mostly to myself with the seagulls, occasional seal, a dead dolphin or turtle or fish washed up, plus, there were 400 shipwrecks off the coast of Delaware and sometimes a storm will bring up wreckage from one of them, or sea glass from trash dumps more than 50 years old. In the summer there are a thousand vacationers with dogs, children, sand castles, balls, frisbees, giant inflatable floats, umbrellas flying in the wind - it's an agility course for a runner. On any day, the tide might make the beach 100 yards deep, or the waves might be coming right up to back yard fences. Peggy

Ooohhhh Peggy...you paint such a pretty picture! Thanks for taking me there. Totally jealous. I so love the beach but haven't been for 3 years. I WILL get back. Enjoy for me!
Hi Peggy @pfbacon , so then you are NOT old - heck I'm 68 and I don't THINK I am old, or am I?. You mention Delaware, my dad used to drive our family there from Illinois many summers in the 50's & 60's to visit my grandparents in Millsboro, and most days of our visit we'd all pile into the Chrysler and go to Bethany Beach, always stopping at an old gas station to get ice cream bars and popsicles. At the beach we'd spread our blankets under the boardwalk and we'd all go swimming (except my mom who just sat under the boardwalk and read). @lioness we almost always went to either Rehoboth or Ocean City at least once on our visits to play Ski Ball and eat salt water taffy (and ride the rides of course). Thanks for tweaking those memories Peggy! 😃
@pfbacon I love going to the coast. We used to live an hour away, but now it's more like 3. A few times we had rooms facing the beach and went to sleep with the sound of the Pacific. When our kids were younger we spent every Thanksgiving at Beverly Beach on the northern Oregon coast. The Sizzler served a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Our dogs loved it.
