Bethany Beach


After four days of teaching VBS, right off the back of our Outer Banks adventure, we upped the craziness and followed hubby to Bethany Beach, where he spent two days walking around a water treatment plant taking measurements and I spent two days taking the kids to the beach by myself.
In retrospect it was a very good object lesson about overcommitment and not doing things just because the calendar has nothing on it.
But Bethany Beach is such a lovely little spot, and we'd often talked about staying there so we didn't have to do the 6am start for a couple of hours on the sand and this way work would pay for part of the accommodation, so... (oh yes, and I can do taking three kids to the beach on my own!!).
There don't appear to be any ok photos of our camp, but because we had a Trolley, and Chairs, and an Umbrella (as well as towels, sand toys, sunscreen, food, baby gear etc etc). Baby rode in a backpack, boys walked along side, and I pushed our Trolley, full of supplies, about three blocks... The hardest bit was the sand.
Thankfully, Americans are rather decent when you're carting around a baby, so someone in the camp beside me helped with the umbrella, and they were ok with the boys joining in with their grandchild.
