We visited another state yesterday. Delaware, known as the "First State". It's a new state for us on this trip and the first time we visited Delaware ever.
Delaware is know as the First State because it was the first state to declare itself free of England. We visited the town of New Castle, which is where William Penn landed in 1682. It is a town rich in history including the courthouse where the leaders of Delaware were the first to ratify the Constitution.
It is a beautiful town with many historic homes. There are tours of the courthouse and several homes and churches.

First dwelling, the Dutch house. The Dutch house is the small red building,
many of the houses here share a common wall with another structure.

Spring has sprung in this part of the country, there are flowering trees everywhere.
