Beach getaway

My husband and I took a little getaway time over the long weekend  to Bethany beach.
Bethany is part of a seven mile stretch of sandy Atlantic beaches,  in the southeastern corner of Delaware including South Bethany and Fenwick Island.
We stayed at Addy Sea , a bed and breakfast Victorian home that was like stepping back in time.   Beautiful views of the Ocean.   Tea time at three in the afternoon,  with  that  we sat in the parlor downstairs with a good book by the fire.  The breakfast was wonderful with fresh fruit, eggs and bacon, pancakes, etc. 
Interesting history of the home is found on their website.   We will be going back for sure.

There were children on the ice playing.

Betsy,

I have never been to Rehoboth Beach but it looks like a lovely place and I will add it to my list of places to go. It's not that far from me! I love the photo you took on the porch looking in.

Your Friend,
