And then there was one. That’s right, only one state left that I have yet to visit. We spent the last four days knee deep in the water at Virginia Beach with Kim’s family, but before doing that we made a slight detour over to Delaware, state #49 for both Kim and I. We left after work on Friday and drove to Hagerstown, Maryland for some sleep. Saturday morning we were up bright and early to get a good jump on the day. We pointed the car toward Milton, Delaware home of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Tours are offered of the facility, but we didn’t think to make a reservation until the day before and everything was full. But even if you can’t take the tour, it is worth a stop at the brewery for three ounce samples of some of the beers and a gift shop filled with all kinds of merchandise and even some harder to find ales. Plus it was on our route to Rehoboth Beach anyway.

Once we made our way to Rehoboth Beach, our intended destination for the trip, we immediately found Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats, which I will review in full at another date. Not only does this restaurant serve an incredible number of Dogfish Head beers and tasty food, it sits on the site of the breweries beginnings dating back to 1995. We arrived just past 6pm and found a very short wait for a table, and even though we weren’t very hungry we figured we better take a seat while we could. We ended up sampling nearly a dozen different beers and eventually having some good food to go along with it. After a couple of hours there we made our way down to Rehoboth Beach and the neighboring boardwalk. Even with the sun already beginning to set, the heat of the hot day was still lingering. We all took a quick dip up to our knees in the Atlantic Ocean before returning to the car and calling it a night.

This was an excellent way to start a great vacation. I have a bunch of photos on our various cameras that I will attempt to get online soon. For now enjoy this photo of Kim and Trey at Rehoboth Beach.

And if you are asking yourself, “What’s the last state left?” It is Oregon, and I hope to scratch that off sometime within the next year or so.
