1999 West Chester, Pennsylvania
We took a long weekend trip to Philadelphia/West Chester KOA in Embreeville, Pennsylvania on Memorial Day weekend. While there, we spent a day at the Hagley Museum in Wilmington, Delaware, a really cool outdoor museum on the site of du Pont's first millworks in North America.
Our KOA campsite. We were camped in a section
next to the West Branch Brandywine Creek. This picture does not really
show just how crowded it was on Memorial Day weekend, but we were surrounded
by other campers. The neighbors were great, except for the crew of very
loud and very drunk campers across the street from us. It was fun watching
them get thrown out of the campground.
Saturday night's dinner - two Cornish Game
Hens cut up, then basted with Greta's
Sesame-Soy Marinade and cooked on the Pigmy Propane Grill. Yummy!
The millrace at the Hagley Museum.
The Millwright's Shop at Hagley, restored
to 1870's configuration. Panoramic shot taken with the Kodak
DC260 and stitched with Ulead
Cool 360.
Keith and Scott get an idea of what school
was like for the kids who lived at Blacksmith Hill, the millworker's town.
Another panorama shot - the pool at the
KOA.
We fired up some giant sparklers with our
neighbor's kids on Sunday night.
