DE has very little culture. I don't like DE at all. It's a very boring state. But I can understand the draw of having family nearby.
If you believe Delaware's Governor, it is doomsday for us... water is rising, only saving grace would be to invest billions into pinwheels... ooops windmills to reduce carbon dioxide... And don't dare let anyone do anything that would upset Al Gore - make all Southern Delaware into a big park for strolling and watching wildlife (with bicycle lanes of course)
Oh yes, he's one of those New Castle County former duPont snobs - you know the union hack supporters like the ones that thought Biden was so sharp and smart. They've got the big bucks, welfare recipients and university twerps up there supporting them (wish they would stay there) but they outvote us down here. But Richmond and Northern Virginia do it to the rest of that state too.
Now, if we could cut the peninsula off at the C & D Canal, and make it the State of Delmarva, cut off all those nuisance bridges and we would have a really wonderful place! Nice and conservative...
From a 73 year old native, I say there are too many transplants from Jersey, New York and D.C. (which I call Disneyland East) that moved here. But, having kids, grandkids and great-grandkids, I say keep them close... you won't regret it...
What did you do?
My 11 YO son and I took a road trip about 2 months ago, driving to Las Vegas via Southern Utah. One of those days was spent canyoneering outside of Zion NP.
The hike in was 2 1/2 miles, and we gained about 1000 feet in elevation. On the way out, we did 5 rappels, ranging from 40-90 feet.
I thought I was in good shape, but the hike in was exhausting. For next year's trip, I'll put some serious time on a stair-stepper.
