They come to get outside, to wiggle their toes in the sand, to swing their driver on a par five, and to casually walk from one quaint beach shop to the next. However, few know the true array of adventure, history, and beauty that waits just around each curve of\u00a0Delaware\u2019s coastline.<br \/>\nBack in \u201991 when my parents first moved to Delaware the lead story in the local paper was about a loose pig. Coming from Long Island, they couldn\u2019t help but think, \u201cWhere the hell did we move too?!\u201d The only restaurant open year round seemed to be Grottos Pizza, you couldn\u2019t find decent shopping closer than the Christiana Mall, and the term &#8216;Y\u2019all&#8217; wasn\u2019t slang it was common tongue. However, my Dad made his living on the water and so it came to be that my brothers and I were raised in Sussex County.<br \/>\nI must say that we are proud and happy to have been raised in a place where thousands flock to\u00a0each year to vacation.\u00a0\u00a0 We grew up as many kids do, exploring and finding adventures wherever we could. Often our outdoor capers were just a step off the beaten path, others off a small side street&#8230;and a few in places we probably didn\u2019t belong. As a result, we discovered many of the most extraordinary areas that the average visitor (and even many locals) would never dream of finding.<br \/>\nSure people can find the quality restaurants we now have, or the tax free shopping at the outlets; however, my goal in writing &#8220;Discover the Trails of Delaware&#8221; is to share these fascinating locations and their stories so that y\u2019all have the opportunity to experience the thrill of adventure, history, and beauty that comes from exploring and living near the Beaches of Delaware.\u00a0It is my hope that as you have a chance to explore each location, you&#8217;ll find the same pride and happiness that I and so many others treasure with pride.<br \/>\nStay tuned for the next installment of &#8220;Discover Delaware Trails&#8221; as I take you on an adventure along the Junction &amp; Breakwater Trail!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here in Southern Delaware, people move to get away from their offices, to leave the hustle and bustle of their morning commute behind, to enjoy\u00a0lower taxes, and to put the stresses of life aside.
