Late Spring in Delaware and Pennsylvania
After spending two days in Charlotte for Aidan's high school graduation-- see photos here --and then two days in Centreville VA with Tom and Sarah-- see photos here --we made our way to Duling-Kurtz Duling-Kurtz House & Country Inn House & Country Inn in Exton PA. This 1830 building gave some an idea of what travel and inn stay might have been like: small room on the third floor with no elevator! However it served its purpose of giving us a reasonably price base from which to explore this region, mostly in Delaware. After checking and lugging our baggage up two floors, we went to a local AAA office to get some tourist information, brochures, and advice/suggestions. The staff probably knew more about travel to Italy than they did to their local area. They hadn't heard of some of the gardens and had hard time coming up with suggestions. The one place they insisted we go--Kennett Square PA--was a bit underwhelming when we visited for lunch and some shopping.
