Wow, great pictures. It looks like a very nice state. It seems like Delaware doesn't get enough credit.

Hey, being small has its advantages and being first does too.
I guess our rank as #1 puts us so far ahead that all you followers forget we're up here. Just kidding.
Delaware: it was the United States for five days, it's small but valuable like a diamond, and it supplies a diversity of wonders within a two hour drive.
Happy 220th Delaware Day!!! :cheers1:

Sorry, but I've got to take exception to the history here. Delaware ratified the current federal Constitution 220 years ago, but Delaware as a State is 11 years older than its ratification of the Constitution of 1787. The lower three counties of Pennsylvania completed their final political separation from PA just shortly before the Declaration of Independence was promulgated, the document which established the former colonies of Great Britain as free and independent States. These States then functioned under a national constitution called the Articles of Confederation, which continued to provide the framework for the American Union until the Constitution of 1786-87 went into effect upon a ratification of a majority of the existing 13 States.
So happy Delaware Day, indeed -- the First State to ratify the present Constitution. Only it's not Delaware's birthday, really, I'm afraid.
