Vacation - Day 3 (Tuesday)

Another lazy day - which is all good!

We turned over horseshoe crabs on the walk this morning and I got some video of the pups reacting to the crabs moving.

I finished "How to Shop for Free" and originally, I thought I would post this back on paperbackswap.com but I might just keep the book for inspiration! 

The pups got to be off leash a little bit in front of the house.  They both did well.  Zed is very much a homebody.  He was out there for a few minutes and then was ready to go back into the house.

We walked the beach this afternoon and went towards the Broadkill Beach store.  Across the street was a geocache, so that is our first geocache in Delaware!

Zed is very anxious - like he's afraid we are going to leave him or it might be all of the sounds - the waves and the hard wood floors that he's not used to.  He doesn't seem too relaxed.  Esa on the other hand....

Vacation! Day 1 (Sunday)

At last, a long needed vacation!  We are at Broadkill Beach in Delaware.  The reason we picked this beach - dogs are allowed all year round.  I found this house though dogfriendly.com, which lead me to homeaway.com.

Today has been a long day.  Mostly because we went out last night to Brody Bash - but it was all worth it.  We had a great time (except for the smoke-filled bar).  I still feel like I'm trying to catch my breath from that.

We headed out around 10 am this morning & got to the beach around 1 pm.  We stopped in Stevensville, MD at the K-Mart.  We were just looking for somewhere to walk the pups a little, and they had a great open area next to them.  Anyway, Dan went in and I started walking the pups around & what did I find? A $20 bill!  WOOHOO!

This house is great.  It's the perfect size for us.  We unpacked and walked down to the beach store & got drinks and subs for a late lunch.  Then we figured out what we needed for the week and Dan went to the store.  We weren't sure about leaving the pups by themselves to get food, so I stayed home.  I think it was a good move.  Both of the pups were anxious while Dan was gone.

Once he got back we went for a walk on the beach.  We saw a bunch of dead horseshoe crabs, but we also saw two mating (at least we think)!  We saw finger sponges and a dead puffer fish.  Most of the beach is covered in pebbles.  It must be just from being inland/a bay area.

Mating (???) Horseshoe Crabs

Tonight has just been hanging out and trying to catch up on e-mails and such.  The pups finally laid down and we hope they will sleep in tomorrow.

Zed's first time on the beach (that we know of)

"Hell, No! I'm not getting in that water!"

Friday Fragments - June 15

Friday Fragments, Episode 202

• There was a family of geese walking across Waxpool Road on Wednesday.  I was worried all day that they didn't make it across.  Going West, there was a break in traffic, but going East, there was a ton of traffic.  I was hoping that the cars behind me woud stop - they must have.  No injured geese in the road when I came home : )
• I cannot wait for the beach on Sunday!
• I am looking forward to going to Brody Bash on Saturday and seeing The Excentrics.
• I watched The Lost Boys: The Tribe.  OMG - so cheesey.  Storyline was basically the same as the first movie.
• Thank you to the new visitors (and one turned follower) to my blog:  Mrs 4444 (who runs the Friday Fragments blogroll), Tami, and Ellen.

And the Race Begins

This fella was in the alley way when I pulled out of the garage this morning.  A couple of years ago, we had an influx of turtles - I wonder if this is going to happen again this year.

Just crazy how the bunnies and the turtles all come out together - I guess that's how the fable got it's start.

BTW - he moved faster than the baby bunny.  I went to pick him up and he wasn't afaid at all - just started to "run" from me.
