Around 10:15 am we crossed into Maryland.
We stopped in Frederick, Maryland to purchase some gluten-free items for Emily and I. There is a grocery
In order to get a cart at Aldi, you have to put a quarter in a box on the cart to unlock it from all the other carts. You get your quarter back when you return the cart and put the chain lock back into the box. The girls thought this was pretty cool.
We hit traffic before the Bay Bridge and when we got closer to the beach towns in Delaware.
Once on the bridge, the traffic started moving.
We crossed into Delaware at 2:25 pm.
Welcome to Delaware's Beaches and lots of traffic!
It took us over two hours to get from Rehoboth, Delaware to Bethany Beach.
Ugh! More traffic!
Finally flying down the road after getting through Rehoboth and Dewey Beach traffic.
The beach, the beach!
