wasting away in delaware

mid-week of our vacation and i'm thrilled to report i didn't respond to more than four or five of the 85+ emails i've received.

we've had a relaxing time just cooking, eating, drinking, playing wii, watching ridiculous tv shows and exploring this area of coastal delaware. it's quite lovely.

our first adventure yesterday was to find and visit the only winery in Delaware. we did the self-guided tour and then a quick tasting. we spent most of yesterday at two of the three outlet malls and then we came back to the house where i fixed enchiladas. kelvin and bethany fixed me a margarita that i sipped the entire time i cooked. by the time i put everything in the oven the four of them looked comatose. i had to liven the party up and after we ate we drove down to the boardwalk at rehoboth.

on Monday Kelvin and I rode our bikes to the state park and through the bike path loop there. kelvin touched a horseshoe crab at the nature center; it was nice to see a live one after all the ones that we've seen washed up on the beach.

today bethany went to the beach while the guys and i took the breakwater trail from lewes to rehoboth. it was such a great ride. the trail is nice and varied and we were able to see some different landscapes including a field that had just been fertilized with some manure. i think we all held our breath the whole way around.

i guess tomorrow we're headed for pedicures and more shopping in lewes and at the third outlet. i can't believe it's almost thursday. i'm not going to want to go back to work.
