Dover

Our writer goes to Dover to see the Little Creek Inn, Where Pigs Fly, Sewell Biggs, Dover Downs Hotel and other historic sites.

We headed towards Dover Delaware, from another travel assignment in Virginia. What should have taken two hours ended up to be three and one half hours as we got stuck on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge behind a jack knifed trailer truck. After having survived a recent blizzard with Donald, I was glad to be out on the open road, and not prepared to be sitting behind this truck.

Rehoboth Beach

Filled with nature preserves, an ocean view, a brewery and beautiful hotels.

We checked out of the Dover Downs Hotel after I first donated some more money to the Dover Downs Casino. Heading south towards Rehoboth Beach Delaware, we stopped at the Zwaanendael Museum. Since many of Delaware's first settlers came from Holland, the museum constructed in 1931 is an example of Dutch architecture after a church in Holland. "Zwaanendael" means Valley of the Swans. I'm sure you were wondering, since I was.This is a relatively small museum, but there is a lot of local history tightly packed inside.

Next we drove to Cape Henlopen State Park.
