[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go for the Jersey Shore beaches (Spring Lake is adorable) or the Delaware beaches. The drive from DC to OBX is a death march in the summer, especially the return drive when everyone vacates their McMansion rentals at the exact same time and crawls to 95 for the drive north. Cape Charles is cute but there's very little by way of dining and entertainment, which is FINE if you don't mind cooking/ meal prep for most of your vacation. We had a nice trip there -- pleasant locals, wasn't commercialized, etc, but [b]no break from Mom Life.[/b] Delaware beaches are very nice, plenty of restaurant options.

(By the way, you have to pay to enter the beach in New Jersey, so bring a little cash if that's the route you go!)[/quote]

DP, and I feel the opposite.  Cape Charles is a great break from Mom Life because it’s so low key and we can walk to almost everything.  The kids get Froot Loops for breakfast, and DH and I can walk to the Bakery on Main, which is terrific.  We might grill at the house once or twice, but otherwise we rotate between Deadrise Pies, Cape Charles Brewery, and the Shanty.

To me, that’s much more restful than battling every other DC-area family on vacation at the Delaware beaches (too crowded) or OBX (too much driving, even after you get there).  But, thankfully, YMMV.[/quote]
