Thursday of vacation

Thursday was a big day!! We were heading to go on the Lewes-May ferry that is more like a cruise ship. The weather was beautiful (as is was the entire vacation). We boarded our ship at 10:15 on foot. We explored all 3 floors of the ship and then found some seats to just sit and relax. The ride is about one and half hours over to NJ. The kids also used those machines that turn pennies into keepsakes. When we arrived, we boarded a shuttle bus to take us into the main area. The mall area is outside and full of little quaint shops and eating spots. The area is a couple blocks from the ocean front. We found a little place to eat lunch and then walked down to the water to see the ocean. Again, it is very different from NC beaches. The kids had been asking to play putt putt, so the boys and Jonathan played although Chloe did eventually steal Jonathan's ball and putter. Then we walked around and found some sweet treats before we headed back to the shuttle bus.

The ferry this time was even bigger--there were 5 floors to explore. A playroom, snack room/restaurant, gift shop, and more were there. We found a big place on the deck where nobody was at and chilled out. The kids ran around and played and Jon and I napped. It was a relaxing afternoon.

On the way to the ferry in the morning, we had passed a creamery and we decided if it was open on the way back we stopped. It was so we did. The cows are right behind the ice cream spot and they make it right on site. Now, we eat lots of ice cream from places, but this was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!! We all tried different flavors and then Jonathan and I went back and got 2 more flavors. AMAZING!! Too bad we didn't find it sooner--we probably would have gone every day.

At camp, there was an option of hot dogs or hamburgers. Kale and Keegan opted for HD so they could cook it themselves. They played with the friend next door for a long time. Since it was the last night, they wanted to enjoy it all. After showering, we headed off to bed and all crashed. WE were exhausted.

In the morning, Jonathan and the kids went back out bike riding while I cleaned and packed to go. After I showered, I found them walking back to camp. Jonathan loaded the car up which was no easy task and we headed out.

We would definitely do this again. The place was really nice and relaxing. I would like to come back in the fall and stay there again, During the summer, I think the kids would rather camp where there is somewhere to swim. Whichever we do, we all voted to come back to Delaware again.
