This morning we drove to Lewes, DE where we went to Cape Henlopen State Park to see the beach. It was so different from the beaches I know. For starters there are huge surf fishing beaches where trucks drive out on the sand, park with their tailgates facing the ocean and fish. Dogs are only allowed on the surf fishing beaches so we didn't check out the swimming beaches. But it didn't matter because it was very rough and windy and quite chilly down by the water. We found a section of a surf fishing beach that had no trucks on it so Mac and Jimmy could throw the football and Leo could play on the sand (which he loved) and put his paws in the water (accidentally and which he did not like at all). 
After exploring the WW2 military installations in the park and driving to the park's northernmost point, we headed for lunch and a stroll around Lewes, which is so charming and sweet.
Jimmy found a shop selling steamed crabs. Since the owner was ready to close, she sold him 15 crabs - several of which were true jumbo or larger - for just $29. To put this into perspective, Jimmy ate steamed crabs with a former colleague at a restaurant in Arlington in July. The cost for a dozen? $95.
We feasted like Chesapeake kings and queens when we got home tonight.
