New Hampshire is more lax but harder to find places on the waterfront. Jersey Shore is a no-go bc we've seen it get gross after noon so we'd have nothing to do for half the day. May try Delaware.

We are going to do DE. I wanted to stay in the Rehobooth area, but my wife doesn't want to go there since it's more likely to be crowded, so we are going to Slaughter beach instead. Never been before, but it sounds like it's not very touristy and kind of off the beaten path

very off the beaten path. the beach is more bay than ocean. might be lucky and see hundreds of horseshoe crabs mating.

My aunt has a place nearby. I haven't been yet but she's spent most of the pandemic there and her pictures are incredible. Pretty much exactly what I would look for in a vacation spot (chill on the deck all day, maybe go for a walk on the beach in the early morning and/or evening). There are no lifeguards though so keep that in mind if you're a swimmer family.

Yeah, knew about the no life guards, from what I’ve read it’s calm and my kids are good swimmers that know how to not be dumb in the ocean, so I’m not worried about that. The chill part is what we are going for.

We just pulled the trigger on a beach front place listed as Rehoboth but I talked to the owner a lot and she says it's a much less busy place. So we'll go down at 8, hang out til lunch, if it's busy after lunch we'll go Lewe's which is really dead or to SLaughter

Nice, what week are you going? We’re going down the first week of august.

Haha same, let's coordinate

Bring me back beer from Dewey Beer Co please

Fun geography fact: the southern tip of New Jersey is further south than the northern tip of Washington, DC.

I think my brain just exploded

just the tip though

so i got pinged by a dna match on ancestry- 1st/2nd cousins. from her account of her biological father's life (she was adopted), he's (her father) my uncle's oldest son- who he had at a young age, and never saw after infancy. Could be a weird chapter to add to my cousin's live's- their half brother whom they never met. Not really even sure if they know about him- he (my uncle, their dad) died in 1993 (his funeral was the morning of the infamous game 6), and my mom didn't tell me the story until recently- apparently it was a well-kept secret in the family that only her dementia let loose. crazy.

Meanwhile on the other side of bucky’s family....

His dna contribution secured an arrest warrant for an uncle and three cousins for racketeering, human trafficking and murder.

I know I have an aunt and cousins I've never met.

They have some pretty good ipas. They do a ton of fruited sours. Thrills and Secret Machine are the two main ones. They do different variations of fruits in each. Some are so thick and smoothie like. I love it.

Sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye out
