TRAVEL GUIDE: DELAWARE

One of the original thirteen colonies, and nicknamed the "First State," Delaware is the second smallest state in the U.S. Its East Coast locale and topography of hills, plains and rivers lend to a variety of outdoor adventures and recreational activities. Rehobeth Beach and Dewey Beach are popular summer relaxation spots, while the historic city of Wilmington is the town to visit for museums, galleries, art and antiques. Delaware's location offers easy access to major metropolitan areas of the Northeast, with Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore all within a two-hour drive. Shopping enthusiasts take note: Delaware is tax-free!
