Quintessential Delaware

We attended a couple of Wilmington's signature events over the weekend. Saturday was the annual dine-around, during which we had a superb meal divided into three -- appetizer, entree, and dessert each served at a different restaurant around town (maybe you caught the video advertisement). This was one of the first events R and I partook in right after we moved into town two years ago. We met some people that night who really helped shape the time between then and now. Saturday's meal was memorable as well: great food and, without fail, interesting people.

Sunday was the ever-so-popular Point-to-Point event. We picnic'd with some friends and made the rounds to some other friends' tailgating spots. There were horse races, antique carriage pagents, an old car show, and a lot of wine to go around. The weather was perfect for sitting out on the grass and acting like the sophisticated upper-class we aren't. As R likes to point out, it's the kind of place you can see a prim and proper young lady hitting a beer bong. The gas powered blender is another favorite image. I didn't take nearly enough photos of the event, but see what I do have here.
