[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well are they coming from Maryland or Ohio? We plan to go to one of the Delaware beaches just for a day because it’s 3 hours and hotels are too expensive or too dingy. [/quote]

6 plus hours in the car in a single day is crazy. At least book a one night hotel for a few hundred bucks, even if the kids have to share a bed.[/quote]

Do you never road trip with your kids? For us, six hours straight (minus bathroom and gas stops) is no big deal, let alone in a day. [/quote]

It’s not even 6 hours straight. It’s pack the car both before, roll out of bed at 7am, drive to beach by 10, spend day at beach leave at 6, have dinner on road, home by 9 or 10.

Not very different than a ski day.

One sticky point (so to speak) is rinsing off after salt and sand before 3 hr ride.  Not every beach has rinsing showers (does Bethany?) so you can maybe change in a bathroom somewhere to dry clothes (which also can be hard — I think some beach bathrooms explicit forbid it and changing in car can get you arrested).  Driving home in bathing suit for at least an hour is less ideal. [/quote]
