Delaware is considered the nation's first state and is conveniently located forty minutes from historical Philadelphia, sixty minutes from Inner Harbor in Baltimore, ninety minutes from our nation's capital, Washington D.C., sixty minutes from Delaware beaches with gorgeous lighthouses, about an hour from Lancaster, PA which is known for its Amish community, lush farmlands and shopping outlets and a mere forty-five minutes from Chester County horse country. Delaware might be the second smallest state, but it has endless options of enjoyment from the beautiful beaches, a multitude of state parks, museums, gardens, colonial history, entertainment venues and great food. There are festivals for every interest: Old New Castle Days, Wildflower Celebration, Dover Days, NASCAR races, Scrapple Festival, Peach Festival, Apple Blossom Festival, Rockford Ice Cream Festival, Firefly Music Festival, State Fair, Wine and Beer festival and Sea Witch Halloween! There is a plethora of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, swimming, horseback riding and golfing. Delaware was named the third most bike-friendly state in the country by the League of American Bicyclists in 2015.
