Woke up to another beautiful day at Cape Henlopen. We’ve really lucked out weather wise. The last day that we had any rain was Tuesday, September 29.
Today’s high was around 75°, and not a cloud in the sky.
We made bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich for breakfast and then headed for the beach. The waves were small, but it was still a thrill to be able to swim in the Atlantic in October. The water was still warm…I don’t think it was ever this warm at Nauset Beach all summer!
After two hours of sun and surf, we returned to the campground, got cleaned up and drove to nearby Rehoboth Beach for a delicious lunch of oysters and soft shell crabs at the Henlopen Oyster House. This was our second time there, and it was still fabulous. Again, I had the oyster sampler which featured 8 oysters from all over North America including Thatch Island in Barnstable! We really indulged at this meal and ordered Delaware apple fritters with a buttermilk glaze and a salted caramel sauce.
After lunch we returned to Lewes where Joni shopped and I blogged. Then we returned to the campground, took a brief walk and started packing up our gear since we are taking an 8:45 AM ferry to Cape May tomorrow.
Peanut butter, apples, and crackers were our dinner for this evening as we enjoyed the warm night air as we sat by the campfire.
It sounds like a perfect day. I have enjoyed all the pictures and especially the ones of the two of you! So happy that you have had such great weather!
