I wrote a post on our way home yesterday, but as I was posting it it somehow disappeared...boo! We had a great trip. The only downfall is it ended up being hotter than the forcast said the day before we left. It wasn't too hot on Sunday, but Monday and Tuesday were too hot to take Harlow out with her cast.
Sunday we got up and went to the outlets in Rehoboth Beach. We got lots of great deals. My favorite purchase was a new Coach bag and Coach sneakers. I saved $300 off the regular price! Yippee Skippee! After our outlet adventure we headed back home and got cleaned up. Harlow stayed in with her Gram & Pap for the evening while Derek & I got to go enjoy the town together. We went back up to Rehoboth Beach (we stay near Fenwick Island). We had a nice dinner, walked around and shopped some stores. We then went to the arcade. Ok juvenile I know, but it was my idea and it was so fun! They have a cool arcade. Although I didn't win an Angry Bird, Derek won Harlow two stuffed crayons (which she loved). We had a great time.
Monday, it was just too hot to really go anywhere for more than a short time. If Harlow gets too hot than she gets a heat rash in her cast which hurts and is a pain to get cleared up. So we basically stayed at the house all day and just hung out. We did have a picnic inside with the a/c, lol. Then I took her down to the park for a little. We got to swing, slide, and go around on that little spin thing (you know the metal on that the kids sit on and someone pushes it around). She wanted to stay longer but it was just too hot. She saw all the people swimming in the pool and said she wanted to get in the "tubby", lol. When we got back I let her get in her tubby...the kitchen sink. She likes to lay alongside the sink and play in the water. It's her version of a bath right now. When she gets her cast off I may never get her out of the real bath tub! After the bath we walked down to the canal and watched the 4th of July Boat Parade. It was kind of lame actually, like 6 boats. The first boat was the best, but the 3rd boat had bubbles, which she really liked. Shortly after that a thunderstorm rolled through which, thankfully, cooled things down a little.
Since it cooled off right before evening we headed up to Rehoboth again. Did a little more outlet shopping and then made it in town right as the fireworks started. We didn't make a big deal out of watching them because Harlow is terrified of them. She rode in her stroller while covering her face with her blankie. Once or twice I caught her peeking out going "Ohhh", but when a really loud on went off, she hated them again. We decided to take her for a "special treat", as she refers to it - ice cream! That helped get her mind off the fireworks. After that we walked around a little and then headed home for bed.
When we got up Tuesday morning, we decided just to head home that way we could get home and get everything unpacked and cleaned up and we would still have Wednesday to enjoy before Derek goes back to work. All in all things went great. I can't wait to go back in October!
Only 12 more days until Harlow gets her cast off - That's less than 2 weeks!!!!
