We are on to our seventh state of our East Coast road trip... Delaware. In looking for what to do in this state, we found a train ride called the Autumn Leaf Special... um, sign me up! This is exactly what we have been looking for on this leaf peeping adventure! We booked the tickets online and headed to Wilimington. Up to this point, we had been hugging the east coast, so Wilmington was our first trip inland... and funny thing, it is our second Wilmington as we were also in Wilmington, NC. We had no idea there were so many cities with the same name...
As we drive through Delaware, we start to see the leaves turning colors. This is what we have been waiting for!!! The train ride was beautiful! Going through the countryside and seeing the multi-colored leaves along with streams, rivers and quaint little covered bridges. It was as good as advertised!!
Next up, we wanted to just explore Wilmington... and Jason wanted oysters so we found the perfect spot downtown where we could also watch our Saints play football. What a great way to spend a Sunday!
After the game, we went for a nice long walk around downtown. It is a beautiful city, especially in fall! Just when we were about to leave, we spot a trail leading down to the river. So we had to stop and explore. We walk down into Brandywine Park and see deer and other wildlife along the way. Locals were jogging or walking their dogs, and it was just so peaceful.
We end the day staying at our first Harvest Host which was Midnight Oil Brewing Company. They had lots of their own beer on tap and even their own cider which I was really excited about! It was a perfect fall day!

Thank you for these East Coast videos, been watching ya'll for a long time (originally from North East Louisiana). I absolutely LOVE entering sweepstakes, and won a cruise on the Mardi Gras (that is when I found ya'll), and then I won a RV package and your adventures with Ellie has taught us a lot!! Recently one of our sons married the most beautiful lady, and at their wedding I discovered that I love Original Sin Blackberry Cider (it's out of New York) and I believe Alyssa would LOVE this!! You truly need to look for it locally!

Delaware is a very, VERY boring state!! The cool thing about our tiny state is that it's right in the middle of everything..Philly, AC, DC, the beaches, & NYC is just a 3 hour drive too. If you guys are ever in the area again, check out Longwood Gardens (in Pennsylvania), it's a beautiful place and would make for great content!

If you iron the leaf between two pieces of wax paper they will retain their colour and not dry out. Our leaves here in Ontario are done the colour wasn’t as pretty this year.

Really enjoyed your train ride and the park with the wildlife. I don't know what month you guys were in Delaware? But I lived in MD 5yrs.. It never failed the peak of the 10 colors of Reds and 10 colors of oranges with some yellows thrown in for good measure. Was ALWAYS the last 2 weeks in October.. including Halloween of course. Same with Delaware 1 state over.. Originally from Colorado we don't get that kind of color in the fall just the clumps of Aspen's up in the mountains. All I had to do was walk out my front door OR drive down the street any and everywhere in Baltimore. The colors we're just amazing every year.. I never tired of it. As you can imagine I have tons of pics but they just don't do it justice this was in the mid-90s before smartphones and all the other cool gadgets

Take two pieces of waxed paper put wax side toward the front and the back of the leaf. Take a tea towel and iron the leaf with the waxed paper on both sides. That will preserve the leaf.

The train rides are chill we really like the doing them. Midnight Oil is brand new and it was late when we got there so we didn’t get to take the tour. Beer was good and plenty of tv’s to catch a game bit definitely a nice way to wind down the busy day we had.

I thought you were sticking near the coast? So what about Fenwick Island, Bethany, Dewey, Rehoboth or Lewes? Did you not drive up route 1? There's a lot more to Delaware than Wilmington! And the Cape May Lewes ferry is a much better way to go to Jersey... But I'm not sure why anyone would want to go there... It's funny to make faces about driving through Delaware, but you missed a lot of fun and interesting places.
