"No. There's actually no treasure," the young girl replied with a shrug and a crinkled eye. Her younger brother took off eagerly, shovel in tow.
Before long, the same shovel wreaked destruction on a large sandcastle they had built as a family. The mother's defeated sigh sounded like the lazy rattle of reeds lining the boardwalk.
Salt air breathed over my neck at Rehoboth Beach, and a pair of dolphins rollicked in the surf near the shore. Blue umbrellas flapped in the cool breeze, duelling the sun's heat. Ocean, I love thee.
We were covered in just enough sand to add a layer of grit to the car's floor mats for the drive home. The road beckoned to shorten the haul, so we grabbed one last taste of seafood at Medings Seafood and wound once more through the hills to Wilkes-Barre.
Having been foiled on Sunday, we finally got to visit Breaker Brewing Company, and were impressed by samples of beer flavoured with mango, lemongrass and tomatoes.
It was worth the second attempt.
