Hotel breakfast yesterday, of course.

The big event of the day was exploring Cape Henlopen State Park. They had a small aquarium, but with a petting tank the kid found interesting. We went for a walk on a path to the beach and back, and that was a lot longer than planned because we encountered another family there, and the kids helped each other find interesting shells and stuff. Meanwhile T. and I were filling a bag with litter. In addition to empty shells and dead crabs, we also found two living horseshoe crabs. Or at least, they were twitching when I picked them up, so I put them in the water, but they didn't move much under their own power after that.

After that, a late lunch at a café. Then I took the kid to the hotel pool again. We had the place to ourselves at first, but eventually more people came, including a family with two girls around Lexie's own age. She can make friends anywhere. This is a mixed blessing. We were in the pool for almost an hour and a half.

After getting showered, dried off, and dressed, the kid insisted on visiting her new friends in their room. We didn't stay long because I didn't want to impose, but they live in DC, so we exchanged numbers. 

Dinner was at The Salt Life. Nice place.

There was no physical therapy yesterday, but between the hike and the swimming, it was one of my more active days in a while.
