Welcome to the First State

Yes, Delaware was the very first state of these wonderful United States. It is also the second smallest state in the union.

I had a boyfriend years ago that is from Delaware. Ian Bunch, if you're out there... a big hello to you. Hope you're doing well.

But let's find some places to visit in Delaware. And, in honor of Claudia's journey through ice cream this month, let's stop at Woodside Farm Creamery. They make they're ice cream with the milk with from the cows on the farm. They also make fudge! Yum!



We're going to step back in time when we go to Delaware Agricultural Museum & Village. It's a town that is stuck in the 1890's. Our adventure is to discover how they lived daily life. As long as it's only for a couple of hours... I'm in. I'm sure it will make us grateful for all we have.

I never realized how close Wilmington is to Philadelphia and it looks like I have to be careful with Wilmington advertising Philadelphia events. Let's get started at the Brandywine Zoo. They are currently celebrating the Year of the Frog. Then we can hop on over Rockwood Park to explore 72 acres of park or museum. Maybe we should schedule a Tea from the Butler's Pantry or take a Ghost Tour. If you've had enough of history we can visit Riverfront Wilmington where there's a lot of dining, arts, entertainment, and sports!



Heading south to the beach we can find any number of deep sea fishing charters. I randomly chose AJ Sport Fishing with Captain Bob. Let's catch dinner!



The fun facts for Delaware are state flower is Peach Blossom, the state bird is Blue Hen Chicken, and the state tree is the American Holly.



All Delawareans meet on the Deck Number 1 on Friday, July 11th to tell us what makes Delaware the Taste of USA!
