A Long Weekend at the Beach

I took my wife and two youngest kids for a long weekend at Bethany Beach in Delaware.  Of course I couldn’t leave my camera home.

My family and I just returned from Florida to have a mini-vacation and attend my sister’s wedding. Being a photographer, I also did double-duty as the wedding photographer.

On our last full day, we packed a lunch and headed off to Sun Splash, a local waterpark, located in Cape Coral, Florida. As luck would have it, thunderstorms rolled in 30 minutes after the park opened. The park decided to close until 2:00p. Luckily for us, the park is only 5 minutes from my parent’s home, so it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

Because we were flying out the next day, we decided to use the rain checks they gave us to go back at 2:00p. The upside to this was the park was nearly empty. We had a troop of about 15 people, and that probably was about a quarter of all patrons in the park for the rest of the day. No lines, no waiting, no problems.
