Yesterday we went to Winterthur - an estate owned by the DuPont family - near Wilmington, DE.

We really enjoyed it - there is so much to do I ended up getting a year pass. The mansion has about 135 rooms and the grounds are so large the property has its own zip code!!!

If anyone is going to be in the area I would recommend a visit. One day admission is $18 but it can be used the next day if you want to come back. They have a website if anyone wants information.

We also went to Longwood Gardens in PA (about a 10 minute drive from Winterthur) which we enjoy and already have a membership. They had a firework/fountain show last night and it was a beautiful night.

Hope everyone has a great long holiday weekend. We will be home the next 2 days doing yardwork (still cleaning up some things from the hurricane).
