In the afternoon we visited the Hagley Museum. We toured the Du Pont family home and gardens and the powder mill. At the end of the guided tour at the house we had time to wander around on our own. I spent my time admiring the gardens and am now itching to get home and play in the dirt. Everyone else went to look at the antique cars. The machine shop with belt driven tools that were originally powered by the river was interesting, especially since there is very little difference (except in power source) from some of the machines Bill still uses. We only had time to go on part of the tour which was too bad because this is a really interesting museum in a gorgeous setting on the Brandywine. We would like to come back and spend a whole day, or more, here.
In the evening Jennifer and her kids came over for dinner. It was great seeing them - Olivia and Chloe are growing fast. Sunday we went to the river walk and had dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack then drove back to Cape May and had dinner with Doug and Jackie and their kids before they dropped us off at the boat. Unfortunately my camera battery died and I did not get a chance to take a picture of Nick in his sailor hat on RONDO.
