5 'Must Do' Things In Delaware This Summer

Jun 08, 2016

Summer down in Delaware is definitely different than it is in Boston, but after spending two years here, I have figured out the best things to keep me happy when summer rolls around. If you're not familiar with some of the best things to do here in Delaware, then keep reading!!

1. Delaware Beaches

Whether you have a beach house or take day trips to the beach then you know there is nothing better better than spending the day getting all sandy and sunburned. Trust me you have many beaches to choose from! If you're looking for a quiet day then head on over to Lewes, if you're looking for a little more action then Rehobeth is the place for you! Cape Henelopen State Park happens to be my favorite but really you can't go wrong with any of them.

2. Lum's Pond State Park

My favorite thing to do at Lum's Pond is the Go APE! Go APE is 5 courses that involve climbing trees, and then zip lining to the next section. Each time you increase in height and you even zip line over the water! As long as you aren't afraid to get a little down and dirty, then I highly recommend this!!

3. UDairy

If you're an ice cream lover like me, then the University of Delaware's "UDairy" Creamery is THE place to get your ice cream this summer. From every unique flavor they have to the very basic flavors they have, you can't go wrong with a nice big cone to end a great day.

4. The Gardens

As soon as the weather starts to get nice you have to head on over to Longwood Gardens. Although LG isn't in Delaware, it is only a short half hour ride to it's location in Kennet Sq, PA. The beautiful flowers and blossoming trees are sure to put a smile on your face. Another fantastic place to visit is my mothers personal favorite, Winterthur! Winterthur is another incredible garden area as well as a library. Not only is it beautiful during the spring/summer, the Christmas views are to die for!! Definitely a must-do if you haven't yet.

5. Chesapeake City

Although Chesapeake City isn't in Delaware either, it is my favorite spot to grab a drink with a friend (whose 21) and eat some crab dip. THE best crab dip I have ever had. Located right on the Chesapeake river, the Chesapeake Inn is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. With the live music and great crowd, you are sure to have a great time!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
