Rehoboth Beach Colors
On a whim I took a quick trip to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, this weekend with my family. The weather was cold and windy, but we had a blast walking along the beach, running from waves and chasing seagulls. During the summer, Rehoboth Beach is simply a mad house, but this time of year, traffic and...
