Do you know how to tell if someone's not from Illinois? Bring up a conversation about Illinois, but make sure they're the first one to say Illinois. If they pronounce it with an "s" at the end, then you know that they're not from Illinois. If we don't go back to Illinois, I want to live in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Below I will be talking about Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Slaughter Beach, Golf Down Under mini-golf, and last but not least Moe's.
Rehoboth Beach was really fun! The beach was huge, and the waves were as big as elephants! We found a bunch of rocks that the waves washed up on, and we played a game called "Condos." In the game Condos we had to make and protect a condo. To protect it, we had to build walls and trenches. We used the rocks as well as sand to make walls.
Bethany Beach had even bigger waves. They were as big as three elephants! Bethany Beach was my favorite beach ever! The sand was litter and dead horseshoe crab free. At Bethany Beach we played don't touch the water. (It's self explanatory.) We also tried to collect shells between waves.
Slaughter Beach was my least favorite beach. It had dead horseshoe crabs everywhere; the beach smelled like dead fish; the water was brown; the beach was full of rocks instead of sand; and it was on a bay not the ocean! Slaughter beach really lives up to its name.
Golf Down Under mini-golf was really cool. I didn't win, but I beat the lowest girls' score of the day and got to ring a bell! Golf Down Under was Australian themed. It had kangaroos and koalas. The person in charge said that we could play again because business was slow. On two different holes each time we played, I got a hole-in-one!
Moe's is my favorite chain restaurant. Moe's is Mexican fast food. I always get the kid's cheese quesadilla. We went to Moe's so much that my dad was starting to get bored of it, but I could eat there every night!
In conclusion Delaware is definitely on our list of places we might live. In Delaware I think I heard the most people pronounce Illinois with an "s" at the end than I've ever heard in one state! There were people pronouncing it with an "s" right and left.
