Nov 15, 2009 - Delaware to Maryland

We started off in Dover by finding their state house. ... From Dover we drove down by the Atlantic Coast and over the boarder into Maryland. ... Right by the border is Ocean City, another huge tourist destination, with the beach lined with hotels, gift shops, restaurants, and miniature golf courses! (Of course, a lot is shut this time of the year.We started off in Dover by finding their state house. ... From Dover we drove down by the Atlantic Coast and over the boarder into Maryland. ...

Oct 19, 2009 - Rhode Island to Wilmington, DE

Well, I have stood at the folding counter in the laundry at our current campground for the last hour, waiting while my pictures slowly uplink, and I don't think I am going to wait any longer. (There's a campfire and a glass of vino waiting for me with our next door neighbours in this campground - a couple from the Okanagan!) We made some miles after leaving Massachusetts and still find it odd to think that you can drive through 6 different States in a day: Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and then into Delaware, which is where we are now with our good friends, Jim and Alan, in Wilmington. ... Jim said he was surprised they actually let us drive through there!  We arrived in Wilmington during an exceptionally cold wet front (two fronts as it was), to a very warm welcome from our friends and a lovely pot roast dinner! This is a lovely area with lots of very old homes – many of them of stone that look just like houses from Cornwall, England. ... Today, Sunday 19th, Jim and Alan took us to Longwood Gardens by a circuitous scenic route.Well, I have stood at the folding counter in the laundry at our current campground for the last hour, waiting while my pictures slowly uplink, and I don't think I am going to wait any longer.
