    On a Friday morning I visited Nemours. It was a sunny fall/autumn day and the garden looked stunning.

    I took the bus tour around the grounds and it was so interesting to hear the driver talk on the points of interest.

    The mansion was quite an experience. In one way very much in a European style, and yet the American mods cons (20th century style) were much in evidence too. At every corner was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who could relate the history to you.

    The gift shop is quirky and certainly worth a look. Managed to find a nice present there.

    Delaware's largest city feels more like a sleepy town. This impressive building comes as Wilmington's most remarkable structure. More interested visitors may consider enjoying one of their shows.

    I did a self guided tour of the mansion during the holiday season. The mansion itself is beautiful and the holiday decorations only made it better. Well worth your time.

    This is where Wilmington’s nightlife is. You kind of have to be in the know to find it. It’s near downtown but kind of off the beaten path if you don’t know your way around. The bars have live music or djs on weekend nights. Drinks are more affordable than going to Philly. There’s also a lot of good food options around as well.

    I discovered recently that I had family ancestors that were married at this church. I reached out online and received documentation confirming the genealogy. This is a beautiful and wonderfully preserved historic site and we were so grateful to have spent time here. Seven Tucker was an outstanding tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly… Kudos to old Swedes church!

    We were on our way from Washington DC towards New City and found ourselves approaching another impressive road bridge, this time crossing the Delaware River. The Delaware Memorial Bridge is a dual-span suspension bridge. The toll bridges carry Interstate 295 and U.S. Route 40. I marveled at this feat of engineering as we slowly crossed over onto the New Jersey Turnpike North heading in a north easterly direction.

    Wilmington Train Station is CLEAN. Easy to get around since you're either taking a local SEPTA commuter or Amtrak and can only go north or south. Not worth a special visit unless you are a trackiac or they are having their once a year open house.

    OK, this Catholic church is the bedrock of the Little Italy community in Wilmington. But it also offers afundraising summer carnival complete with rides and fireworks for us Protestants, along with an Italian dinner where you can sit in long tables and share a dish of pasta with Vinny and the gang, whose wives sweat over vast pots of pasta and sauce in the basement. Fond memories of my years in Wilmington.

    Great place to see professional basketball action for an affordable price. It is a NBA G league team but still professional basketball none the less. Any of the players can be called up the Sixers at any time. You may even see a future star before they get really recognized.

    Train passes by this bridge and caught our attention so we went by and drove through. It was a fun thing to do in the area.

    Third year- and keeps on getting better. This year we tried the three different combo platters- all were good. Tyskie beer a good bet. Friendly people, free parking, great food- cant miss it. It will be an annual event. We arrived too early this year to hear the live bands because of an early departure the following day- cannot miss next year!

    I sought our this site because it is part of the national park service. Although small, the history is well documented and the two staff members working the table at the entrance were helpful and kind. I am glad to know this history was preserved in the middle of a city that has seen better times. A beautiful walk up a shaded pathway takes you to the monument along the river. The monument is suffering from a sinkhole so it is roped off from direct access.

    The Smith Covered Bridge is several miles off the main road through picturesque countryside. Unlike Madison County bridges the Smith bridge is open to automobiles which means all possible options to pull over and take photos have been blocked off. My photo doesn't really do it justice by I had fun all the same.

    I come here every year with friends, family, coworkers, to enjoy a genuinely authentic food and cultural festival. The community is warm and welcoming. The food is the best Greek food you'll find in DE and all homemade. Welcoming for family with a whole section for kids. The band and bar make the evenings so much fun. I look forward to this as a yearly tradition.

    this area is near the train depot and is nice to relax in while you wait for your train's departure.
