Is It Really Winter?

Day 7 - 54° and sunny - Spring Meadows Park.

Molly and I finished the day with a walk in the park. It was lovely out, and as we walked, I reflected on a wonderful 2 days Billy and I spent with our friends, Lance and Doris.

Billy and I went to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and I was able to walk for day 5 & 6 on the boardwalk along the Atlantic Seaboard. It was 64°, sunny, and hard to believe that the calendar read, January 5. Billy, Lance and Doris were my walking companions and that made the walk so much fun. We always have plenty to talk about, and that usually doubles the time we walk.


Rehoboth is about a 4 +/- hour drive from Carlisle through the back roads of Lancaster County. We enjoy the ride as much as we enjoy being at the shore.

We also visited Berlin, a town inland from the beach. It reminded me a lot of New Oxford, PA; a quaint town with many antique shops. While we were there having a pastry break, we met Eric Swick, the innkeeper/chef of a newly opened Bed & Breakfast in Berlin called the Waystead Inn. (http://www.waysteadinn.com/). We didn’t have time to check it out, but it looked glorious.

So if you are coming north for the car show this summer and are combing it with a vacation, you might want to stay around the Rehoboth Beach area, then head on up to the Red Cardinal B&B.
