A visit to Gallery One at 32 Atlantic Ave...great place to relax and see wonderful art by local artists!

Catch a movie at The Clayton Theater in Dagsboro. It's a real throwback to the olden days of one movie per theater...and wonderfully restored.

Cape Henlopen State Park has a playground near the nature center for the kids, Ft. Miles Battery tours are the best, climbing the tower for a view of Cape May, free bike rentals in the park, plus beaches! Walking the historic area of Lewes will see lots of history - Lewes Historical Society has many tours available and the Zwaanendal Museum is cool too.

Rehoboth Museum on Rehoboth Ave. they change their exhibits. Always interesting. It's small and almost free. I think they ask for a donation as you enter.

Take them letterboxing ! There are tons of letterboxing hidings in Sussex County. Fun and adventurous ! Here is a link to all the boxes hidden in Delaware. We used to go with another family. Our kids had their own stamp and a cute little box they kept a notebook in to stamp the hidden boxes and date them. Letterboxing is not just for kids, infact there is a group of Red Hat Ladies that hide some in our area. Letterboxing can be done all around the country. It is always fun to find a few whenever we were on vacation in other states or areas. http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxByRegion.php?region=Delaware

Rent some bikes and do the bike path to Lewes. Lewes has a wonderful museum, that's free, as well...the ferry has a trolley tour of the historic areas of town. Sweet Frog is great.....it's frozen yogurt with lots of different toppings. Up in the last outlets near Staples. You can also do a round trip on the ferry to Cape May and back., it's $18 for adults and $9 for children 6-13, under is free.....children love it.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sweet Frogs !! Good Idea Andy !

Navigator's park across from Bad Hair Day for a sweet afternoon break. Bandstand for some free music. Rehoboth Art League for nice strolling.
