The Beach in November

Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera on this trip, and there wee plenty of great opportunities for good photos. About six months ago my book club started to plan a girls weekend in Rehoboth. While 12 of us committed to go, when the weekend finally rolled around, there were only 8 of us. The good news is that it was a really compatible group and we had so much fun.

Since I missed so much of my summer this year, I was tickled to be at the beach and felt so lucky that we had a fantastic weather. Our place was very nice and absolutely huge. We had 6 bedrooms and Renee and I claimed one on the first floor with a queen sized bed and a bathroom. Renee brought a queen sized blow up mattress so we both had lots of room and were comfortable. Yes, I took my huge body pillow plus my regular pillow!

After some fantastic snacks we selected our books for next year. That's always fun because there are so many books I would never pick to read myself. 2011 will be a good year! After the book selection, we all got comfy and all grabbed some wine and gathered together to play Apples to Apples. Vicci asked lots of personal questions as we played and now, I daresay, I know more about some of my friends than I really wanted to! LOL!


The next morning Lisa and I walked the boardwalk and walked for 15 minutes or so in the sand. My therapist said I could walk no more than 20 minutes in the sand and I was tickled that it went quite well. We hit some of the great eclectic shops then had some famous Grotto pizza. Of course, the highlight for me was getting some Thrashers fries. It's been years since I've had some Thrashers and they were as wonderful as I remembered.

Saturday night we all went out for dinner to a seafood place called Fins. I had the best fish tacos I think I've ever had. They were really yummy. Then we hit a bar with a crazy guitar player/singer. He sang the types of songs we all know the words to so we were all singing at the top of our lungs. A few beers, a few shots, and lots of fun.

I hope we do this again next year. I got to know some of the newer members of our book club and had a very relaxing weekend.
