I am getting a jump on our new project. I want to experience more of DE this year. Today, we managed to go to the Newark Reservoir. I have wanted to go there since it opened, but never seemed to make it there. It was very windy, but since it was warm, it wasn't too bad. The kids took turns running, skipping and trying to fly in the wind gusts. The view from the top is amazing - you can see Motiva and the DE Memorial Bridge!
After the exciting walk around the reservoir, we took the kids to White Clay State Park. It's good to take advantage of the park when they aren't charging fees. While there, I saw an unusual bird and tracked it, attempting to get a clear picture. We got a clear enough picture so we could identify it when we got home. It was a black vulture. Pretty cool.
By this time, we were getting hungry and ended up at Timothy's. I had been there years ago for a work function, but never made it back. We enjoyed ourselves and plan to return.
So what next? If the weather holds, we will go birding at Bombay Hook next weekend. If the weather doesn't hold, we may look to PA to entertain us. Harrisburg/Hershey is always a good trip. The Bass Pro Shop is in Harrisburg, and we reward the kids with a trip to Hershey World if they are good. While I am trying to blog about exploring DE, side trips into neighboring states will have to be a part of the adventure.
