Saturday, September 21st:
Like I mentioned before, Katey is 8 months pregnant with a GIRL, so Emily and I threw her a little baby shower with her friends in Delaware.
We got cupcakes (that were NOT dropped in the parking lot 😬🤫), a few decorations, and then gathered at Plaza Mexico for lunch.
[Katey's mom gave her this blessing dress that she had worn as a baby. It was a very sweet moment between Katey and her mom.]
After lunch Katey, Emily, and I headed to Rehoboth Beach. Katey has been telling us about this amazing beach and boardwalk for almost two years, so I was excited to see it!
We got fries from Thrasher's and then headed to the beach to sit on the sand.
We sat and talked for a long time. It was so nice to relax after such a busy few days. As we were getting ready to leave and find some dinner, this guy came walking by with his HUGE kite! It was so cool! He kept making it do tricks and dive bomb the spectators.
We then walked up the boardwalk to Fins Fish House where we got a crab dip and some crab cakes! When in Rome!
After dinner I called Josh to check in. He assured me that everything was going well and that they missed me. As I was saying goodbye he mentioned that he was about to wake Theo up from his power nap. After I got off the phone I checked our baby camera and saw this sweet moment between Josh and Theo ❤️
After showing the girls how adorable my husband is, we continued our walk down the boardwalk to Makin' Whoopie where we got some GIGANTIC whoopie pies.
It was a bit too sweet for me, so I ended up throwing half of it away, but what I did eat was delicious!

The next morning we headed to Egg for brunch. It was a long wait, but it was worth it!
We got the candy sriracha bacon, crab eggs Benedict, biscuits and sausage gravy, and cornbread covered in bacon gravy. I'm not a sriracha fan, but that bacon was delicious! Everything we got was so yummy and definitely worth the wait!
After brunch Katey took us to a small town on the bayside called Lewes. Did you know that Lewes was the first town in the first state? I didn't!
We walked around the cute downtown area where we explored an adorable (and quirky) used book store, got some cookies at an Italian bakery, and got some juice at Nectar Juice Bar.

We then drove back to Rehoboth Beach, set up our beach chairs, and spent the next few hours listening to the waves crashing on the beach.

[Fish n Chips from Go Fish!]
We grabbed an early dinner of fish n chips from Go Fish! and then headed to a local Italian place for second dinner where we got a meatball sub and tiramisu!
That night we played Mario Kart (I won!) and Mario Party (Katey's husband, Paul, won... he's not invited to Girls Night anymore 😜). Katey also gave me a bunch of boys clothes for Theo! Thanks Katey!
Monday, September 23rd:
The next morning Katey drove Emily and I to the Philadelphia airport so we could catch our flights home. Since we had some time to kill, Emily and I decided it was only appropriate to get one more cheesesteak before we left. It wasn't as good as Pat's (is anything?!), but it hit the spot! The diet starts tomorrow!
I just want to say thanks to Katey and Paul for hosting us in Delaware and thanks to our wonderful husbands for being awesome and realizing that we NEEDED this trip. Can we please not wait 2.5 years for the next reunion?!
Love you Hohos!
I also want to thank my parents for coming all the way to Illinois to watch Theo while I was gone. They took him to all of his therapy appointments and they said everything went well... so... I'll believe them!
