It took us almost all summer to get to the beach this year. As far as I am aware, I have made it to the ocean every summer of my life. Of course I lived in California for 17 years (and three more summers after that), so that made it pretty easy to stock up on beach time, but I've even made it happen when we were landlocked. I also have a somewhat OCD tradition about getting in the water (I always have to get in, even if it's for just a few minutes).
I wasn't about to let the opportunity get away this year, so after a busy few months of this or that, or rainy weekends or whatever kept us from going, we made it to Rehoboth Beach one Saturday in mid-August.
Usually we stay about 4 hours (since it's a 3-hour drive each way) but we stayed a little extra long on this day--we were having too much fun, I guess. On our way home we stopped and got delicious fish tacos at a little place in Rehoboth called El Dorado. It was in a tiny strip mall next to a seedy-looking bar--always a good sign. Actually I think I was the only one who ordered the fish tacos, but anyway they were delicious.
Maybe one of these summers we'll do a weekend or week at the beach again. For now, or for the last 4 years anyway, we've made do with day trips and it's worked out just fine. Oh, we love the beach.

I've gone to the beach pretty often in my life - and in our Utah days, we often made it to a lake beach. You can't go wrong with the beach!
