What the day feels like

What the Antiques Trail Feels Like

The day moves at an intentionally measured pace: a pickup from a designated meeting point, short drives that thread through Southern Delaware, and repeated stops at handpicked antique shops where you step inside, scan aisles of curated wares, and trade notes with merchants who sometimes offer a small treat or local specialty.
