Point of Entry – I-95 near Newark
I was surprised to find myself Delaware that day. I was on a “Press the Flesh” tour in Maryland for my new job. We learned upon arrival at BWI that the boss’s boss’s boss would be in Philadelphia the next day and that an appearance was required.
I hopped in the passenger seat in the morning not really thinking about the route to Phili other than that it was up I-95. An hour later I was able to mark The First State as my 23rd state.
Thought I get frustrated every time Delaware charges me an entrance or exit fee (East Coast drivers know exactly what I mean!) I have to say that when I’ve actually stopped the car in the state it’s been worth the price.
The Hagley Museum is a favorite place. It’s a great place to learn industrial history and enjoy some stunning outdoor settings at the same time.
We also have made several trips to the Rehoboth outlets for shopping right after Christmas. Clearance racks with no sales tax make a Happy New Year.
It’s small. It’s close to where I live. It’s a place I know I’ll be again. I just need to remember to stop the car someplace in Delaware other than at the toll booth.
