When you think of visiting Delaware, the first thing that may come to mind is “What is there to do? It’s a small state so it can’t have many attractions to visit or restaurants to try. Right?”
Wrong!
It’s become a running joke amongst us locals because people are quick to say... “there’s nothing to do here”. But if you follow our page, or visit for yourself, you know that’s just not true!
Just check out what’s coming in April 2022.
Celebrity Chef Brunch – April 24th
This annual Meals on Wheels Delaware fundraiser will be celebrating its 25th year, April 24th at the Du Pont Country Club.

Enjoy an array of delicious brunch bites, fine wine and brunch cocktails, live entertainment, an auction and more!

About Jessica: Moving to Delaware at ten years old gifted me the opportunity to grow under the lights of the city, the serenity of the country, and everything in between. I would have never thought that so many fun and interesting attractions could be packed into such a small state. I love to travel, take pictures, and experience new adventures just like you, reading this now. I can promise you new adventures happen every day in the First State. Follow along with my blogs and see for yourself why Delaware is small, but mighty!
