For years friends and colleagues have suggested that I take the family to Rehoboth Beach. My wife has had the same suggestions from her friends, and the same response: “maybe next year.” Well this year was “next year” and we stopped avoiding the tiny state of Delaware and started embracing it. I’m a selfish traveler so it pains me to write all of the good things I have to say about my trip, because I really don’t want to see you there the next time I go. I like my low-key, quiet retreats to stay that way. I should also give the disclaimer that I am from a beach town so I have a soft spot for them, and love them in all of their kitschy glory. Shopping for beach toys on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. Initially the trip was planned with only economics and convenience in mind. You can get to Delaware in about five hours from New York City (assuming traffic and a rest stop), and only spend three quarters of a tank of gas on the drive down.
