Some days, the planets seem to align perfectly, and when it's over, you marvel at how wonderful it was.
That's how it was for our One Tank Trip to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It began with a gorgeous sunrise:

A trip to Rehoboth and back from Philly is 121 miles and uses only a half-tank of gas, there and back. When you get there, you'll meet plenty of folks from Baltimore and D.C., since it's just a two-hour drive for them, too. In fact, Rehoboth has been called the "Nation's Summer Capitol," because so many people flock there from Washington.
We found out during the trip that "Rehoboth" means "room for all." As you can see in this view from the water's edge, there's plenty of space on the beach for you:

The boardwalk at Rehoboth is a mile long, and Reader's Digest named it "America's Best." Here's a view of the hub of the Boardwalk that we weren't able to show you during our broadcast on Good Day.

Thanks to our generous and helpful hosts, including Ed Fornalt from the Royal Treat Breakfast and Ice Cream Parlor on Wilmington Avenue. When you're there, make sure you ask him about the history of the building. And try to get a spot on the porch. It's the best!
We were also happy to welcome Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head Brewery, a popular spot for fans of fine ale.
Summer is running out, so if your last-minute getaway includes a drive to the First State, check out the Delaware Tourism web site for lots of ideas.

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. Now she is in fifth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. We continue to make amazing upgrades to our equipment here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
