Rhode Island's state bird is also a chicken - a Rhode Island red. I vacation in Delaware every summer, and I love the theme!

I believe theme refers to Delaware, Ohio. Home of the little Brown Jug race.

I'm not seeing any brown jug. Perhaps one of you early risers absconded with it??

Not just A chicken, tigs--the fierce fightin' BLUE HEN chicken of Revolutionary War fame!

Whilst you're googling, don't forget Punkin Chunkin, the stonefly (official state macroinvertebrate), and blue rock. Or the Blue Rocks. Better yet, rather than googling, come on up for a visit. The boxing here is DElightful. ;)

PS a few more DE boxers: JC and Brickman (whose box at Holts' Landing was my first), mother duck, and carters in bear

OK, now I see the lady bug. Yes, there is harness racing in DE but why did Ryan pick that as an image for DE?

that horse picture is hideous... not so pretty!

but Delaware is da' bomb. We, too, vacation there every year, and we will try to leave a little something behind for others to find.

I like the fact that I can be over the PA/DE line in about 10 miles! There are some great boxers in the lower slower....

I can be over the GA/FL line in about 10 miles. Doesn't do anything special for me, though.

We'll be heading through Delaware on Saturday as we head south to OBX! From our base location we can be over NJ/DE, NJ/PA, or NJ/NY borders in an about hour with a well-funded EZ-Pass account for the Turnpike and bridge tolls!
