Here comes Nanny floatin' down the Delaware!

Chewin' on her underwear,
Couldn't afford another pair.
Ten days later, bitten by a polar bear.
Poor ole' Nannnnnnnnnny! *

When my mom and I were driving back from the airport she randomly asked how far Delaware was from us. I had no clue but thought it bordered Maryland. We checked google and found out to was a short drive from us. Nanny said for whatever reason she had always wanted to visit Delaware. So just decided to go! We didn't know where in Delaware we would go but with the state motto being "The First State" it was bound to have some neat places right? So that night we researched and narrowed it down to New Castle, Delaware. 

After lunch in Annapolis we piled in the car and headed out to Delaware! 


Here we are! And I have to say our first impressions were not good. The roads were bad, the towns we went through were dirty and it was then that Nanny said she was going to write a bad review of the whole state on google. Basically saying "Delawarians, you lied. This state is terrible!" We were all laughing so hard and even though our first impressions were bad we were having a blast in the car! Once we reached our destination were soooooo pleasantly surprised!!!! New castle is one of the oldest and most well preserved colonial towns. It claims to be the non-commercialized Williamsburg. It was SO charming! We walked around and just took in the quant town and crisp fall air! It was heavenly.










*Bryan had never heard of this jingle. What?! Doesn't everyone know that jingle? I can still clearly remember sitting in the front seat of my Aunt Kelli's beretta learning it and thinking it was SO fun to sing it about my Mimi. :)
