Delaware
Growing up just a ferry ride away from the First State, you would think I’ve spent loads of time here, but that’s not the case. In fact, my first memory of Delaware was not until 2000, for my cousin’s wedding, other than driving through it en route to somewhere father south.
Sometime in 2004 or 2005, I went to visit my best friend at the University of Delaware for a party. I’m pretty sure we stayed the night, but we also might’ve decided to leave at some ungodly hour. This was the first time I saw people attempt to synch up Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” with the Wizard of Oz. It was underwhelming - I think I just appreciate each of those separately too much.
I also spent a couple of hours in Lewes, Delaware while waiting for a ferry in 2009 when I was on another long road trip (I adore road trips. Can you tell?). A friend of mine was studying for his Master’s Degree in Oceanography or something interesting like that, so we made a pit stop.
In 2016, I took the ferry to Delaware again with a group of friends on bicycles to brewery hop. The day was lovely and I don’t remember how many miles we rode, because, well, there were a lot of breweries involved.
