Up early as we are headed to Longwood Gardens near West Chester. This is the garden and summer home of Pierre DuPont. We spent 3 hours walking the grounds. It was well worth the visit. Included a huge conservatory and a massive fountain area that includes fireworks displays in the summer. We wandered through the topiary garden, Italian garden with beautiful fountains and the blooming spring gardens. The scent of the wisteria was amazing. Marilyn took lots of pictures.
We decided to stay at a nearby KOA instead of pushing on to Maryland as we were tired. I made good use of the WIFI and we skyped the girls. We also booked tickets to the ball game in Camden Yards Baltimore for tomorrow night. After some more research we now have our sites booked for the next two weeks in the Chesapeake Bay area and Washington.
