Bombay Hook is one of the most beautiful places in Delaware. You can drive through some of the park and hike through the rest of it, so bring comfortable shoes. Getting out and exploring one of the most diverse ecological preserves on the east coast is worth a weekend getaway in itself.
From there, you can head over to the state's capital, Dover.
There are benches around, plenty of shade from the beautiful old trees, and lots of grass to lay out a picnic blanket. Hanging out on the Green is one of my favorite ways to relax in Delaware.
On Sunday morning, try to drag yourself out of bed in time to get to Cape Henlopen for a sunrise.
The town is one of the most charming in Delaware, and you can easily spend all day wandering the streets! Grab lunch at Irish Eyes for a great view, or treat yourself to an unforgettable dinner at The Buttery. No matter what culinary choices you make here, you'll have an awesome meal.
