Yes, indeed. I sat on Pam?s data for three states until I got to Delaware. Pennsylvania will be awhile, but I?ll find a way to use the information. Thanks.
Comment from judiverse
Those trips you took as a kid don't sound like too much fun. Reminds me of when we used to go on houseboat trips with the in-laws. There were six adults. five children, and two dogs. Not too much fun. There must have been a rush of adrenalin at Dover, with the thought of going off to Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Interesting that Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution. Good for Dover. Interesting information about the state bird. This is fun and informative, too. judi

The majority of the time I was trapped in the backseat of a two-door, unair-conditioned car, while my parents argued over what was an historic site and what was a tourist trap.

You're welcome. I'm enjoying reading about your travels. judi

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Bill, I am glad that you were able the share some good and interesting points about Delaware, to balance the times of teenage miseration ( is there such a word) that you spent passing through. I do hope that sooner or later, you will be able to share a state that you actually enjoyed.
In the mean time, I am happy to read about your journey from your memory banks.

I am reflecting more my personal situations at the times I was physically in these places, Suzanna. I like Michigan, Oklahoma, and North Carolina pretty well, but may satirize them anyway. : )

Atta way to make a topic that could be boring into an enjoyable essay, Bill. I liked a lot of lines but especially this one: "His misery made my misery miserable."
I imagine you are on your way through Virginia? Okay, I give up. :) Bob

Comment from BethShelby
I am enjoying your Attack of the 50 States. On our last trip to New England I at least went through all of those states the a jammed up together but I can't remember anything particular about Delaware. Parents are probably wasting their time showing young children America. They are always more concerned how uncomfortable the car is and if they are ever going to stop for food.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Bill, I always learn something new, and this is a time I've learned something about a State, I've never been to, and I've been to quite a few. 1991 will always stay with me. I and my little family was very much involved. My daughters father was on the Danish frigate in the Gulf. You probably don't know that Denmark, being a member of Nato, was there, as well. He was a missile expert and he was needed there. It was a frightening yet also a proud time. Don't know whether that makes sense. I like your series a lot. Ulla:)))

Southwest Asia was hoping with folks from all over the world. This was a declared war. All bets were off and everyone showed up to do what needed to be done. Hats off to your daughter?s dad for doing his part. Go Denmark.

Yeah, it was a frantic time. I remember it well. Thank you!!!

If Florida the next stop? I had to laugh at your trip in the back seat with your brother. There was interesting things I didn't know about Delaware. So sorry about your sad experience with your brother.
