Coastal Colors

If you have to pull over during a downpour on Route 1 on your way to the beach, what better place to park but next to the end of the rainbow!  That's what happened to me last Thursday night.  It was crazy - a huge rainbow was covering the highway and you could see the beginning and the end.

The end of the rainbow!  

There was no rain at the beach last weekend.  We had three days of beautiful, sunny weather and colorful sunsets.  Ocean City was filled with Ravens fans who were in town for the annual Ravens Roost Parade.  They all seemed to be having a great time in their purple shirts and their beads and hats and stuff!

If you're "down the beach" this weekend, perhaps you might want to take part in the Dewey Beach Color Run 2015  on Saturday, June 6.  The run/walk starts at 10 AM and benefits Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding.  I'm not totally sure what the purpose of the colored powder is, but it looks pretty cool when people throw it all over each other.  Whatevs...could be fun.

Don't be blue!  This charity run needs you!

Speaking of Dewey Beach, I noticed that the Dewey Beer Co. appeared to be open last weekend and, from the look of the crowd, seemed to be doing pretty well.  I don't have any info on this place yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out more.  According to an article in The News Journal, this open-air full scale restaurant is offering 10 of their own beers on tap - mostly IPAs.  

I'm looking forward to heading back down on Thursday night to discover more cool stuff and get my toes back in the sand while I patiently wait for this new OC boardwalk eatery to open:

It's what they do
