Growing up in NJ and going to college in NC, I will admit that Delaware was little more than a pass-through state to me, and a quick one at that. If you blink after you cross the Delaware Memorial Bridge, you’ll be in Maryland already when you open your eyes. But then I married a guy from Ocean City MD, a mere hop skip and a jump from the Delaware border, and realized there was more to the First State than meets the eye. Only 35 miles at its widest point, the state still boasts beautiful forest, beaches, and swampland. Small Wonder!
