Yesterday Alex and I spent the day in Rehoboth Beach. We were in the area because we had plans to run a 5k in Milton early the next morning. It was strange being at the beach without the option to lay in the sand and listen to the surf. The day was warm enough and there were still plenty of people down on the sand, but we just got some lunch and walked the boardwalk in our winter shoes.
We stopped for lunch at an old childhood favorite... Grotto Pizza! We enjoyed our pizza, but afterwards I felt like such a... tourist? because there is a Grotto Pizza on every street corner! At least we didn't get any Thrashers fries. I did try to get some Fischer's popcorn and Candy Kitchen but Alex was opposed :(
Now, I really need to tell you about what happened next. We found the BEST ice cream place ever! Right around the corner from Grotto, just off the boardwalk, is the Ice Cream Store and they have hundreds of flavors of ice cream! Some are homemade, and many are very odd and interesting flavors. I wanted Alex to get the bacon ice cream (come on, right?!) but he settled on something a bit more simple - mint moose tracks. I was very happy that they had my favorite flavor of ice cream ever, key lime pie. The only other time I've seen key lime pie ice cream was about 5 years ago when it was a special summer flavor at Baskin Robbins. I've been waiting for it to come back since then, but it never did.
We had to go on a little walk after that to get rid of some of those unnecessary calories and quite possibly walked to the next beach town. On the way, I found a row of beach houses I love and singled out the house that will be mine someday. Time to start working towards that goal!
Ahh, dreams.
