After spending the first day of our weekend family trip in Rehoboth, we leisurely spent the next day at Cape Henlopen State Park. It was our first time going to Cape Henlopen, and we liked that it was a little quieter and had calmer waters than Rehoboth, which was perfect for younger children.
My dad walked out on a little strip to stand out in the middle of the ocean.

Mirei was terrified of the fish.
Not a fishy fan!
Mio, on the other hand, was fascinated by the fish!
We took a weekend trip in late August with my parents and my sister to Rehoboth Beach and Cape Henlopen. The girls loved the beach and were happy to be back at Rehoboth!

Mio is a beach lover for sure!

On August 14, we became first-time homeowners! It’s been a long time coming, and it’s so nice to have our own home that’s all our own. We can’t wait to see what wonderful memories we’ll make here with our family!
