I live in Rehoboth Beach, and I'll say: the traffic is insane! It's a really good thing that you guys chose to bike! And I'm glad you guys enjoyed your time in Delaware! ^^
Hey-neighbor
Delaware has never been on our radar. But wow you guys have convinced us to explore. Beautiful video guys! ~Cara 😊
Seconded. Maryland, as well.
It looks like you guys had a couple of enjoyable days. The tacos looked awesome and the historic sites were fun to see.
Rehoboth Beach is such a fun place to visit, I loved it!
We love rehoboth!
We live just outside of it. It's definitely changed over the years, but it's a great place to spend some time.
Thanks for doing Delaware justice. Great video 💛💙
❤
I grew up in Delaware and spent time every summer (and still do) in the Rehoboth Beach area. You did a phenomenal job showing highlights of the history and gorgeous geography of the area, not to mention the delights of Thrasher's fries!! Thank you for visiting one of my favorite places! New subscriber here....and we have a friend in common!
Thank you so much! It was such a fun area to explore!
We're so happy and proud to have Tori on our team! She is amazing!
SO fun to see you guys explore a place I love so much. Awesome video!!!
Close to home for us. Looks like you had a nice relaxing time. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing how others appreciate and enjoy the area I grew up in. Nice video. Safe travels.
Wonderful that you were able to see and film dolphins. Thrasher's fries, yum. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Delaware is definitely not a state that comes to mind when I’m thinking of vacation. This is was such a fun and cute vlog though…and there were French fries!!! I’m a sucker for fries! My mouth is literally watering right now thinking about it! Glad you had such a good time and got to see dolphins! Adam you made my day with “pillowy”. 😁 Good to see Kona as well. 😊
I'm always mad that Thrashers doesn't have ketchup!
It wasn't for us either! It was a nice, relaxing time though! Those french fries were the bomb! I've come across a decent amount of pillowy foods lately! Thanks, Brad!
I do not know how you do it but another amazing beautiful fun informative video with your awesome vibe. Thank you!
Yay! Thank you for visiting Slower Lower Delaware. I am proud to call this beautiful place home ❤
Such an inspiration....currently planning my own trip Maine to Key West.
Wow. My home state. Im from Dover. I recognized a few stops and learned a few things I didn't know. Glad you enjoyed it.
Glad to hear you’re taking it “a little bit easier!” This was great; I didn’t know anything about Delaware. Growing up, there was a small amusement park we would go to and they served vinegar on the French fries; I really liked them! That was the only place I ate them like that.
Took the ferry from Cape May to Lewes and visiting Rehoboth Last September during our Roadtrip. We are from Germany
It's so fun you guys went to DE!! That is in our neck of the woods and where I grew up going to the beach (Rehoboth) glad you guys had a great time!
Great video thanks for visiting my home state of Delaware hope you enjoyed it! I look forward to you next videos including the eastern Canadian Provinces for some trip ideas!
We’re excited to visit and share! Thanks for watching!
Love that area. There is a great view of the sunset from the top of the tower too.
Hi, I'm a huge fan! I went to delaware for a week yesterday I came back 4 hour drive but worth it! Me and my couisns had so much fun there
Yay! Glad you all are back on the road! We’ve actually been watching your videos for quite a few years, but it was always on the TV - so now that I officially have my own CZcams account I can comment to let you know how much we’ve enjoyed your travels. You’ve inspired us to check out many locations we would otherwise passed over.
Thank you for sharing your journeys! ❤
Thank you so much for watching and you're very nice comment!
Another great video.. Thank you.
Loved this video! As a native delawarean who lives and works in the Rehoboth Beach / Lewes area, you definitely picked the right place (and the right time of year) to visit! You got some good highlights - Taco Reho & Thrashers are classics, but there is soooooo much more awesomeness to explore here!
Always more to see than there is time! We hope to come back one day! Thanks for watching
Hey-neighbor
Love it when you go somewhere I've been. We do a week long family vacation every summer in Lewes and Cape Henlopen. My favorite thing is that exact bike ride to Rehoboth.
❤❤❤another great video, love your channel
It was so nice to see a part of Delaware…loved every minute of it!!! Those FRIES…how amazingly delicious looking! Another great video…keep traveling safe❣️😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
You would definitely love those fries! You would probably like Delaware as well!
I appreciate the history information included! Visiting the first state this summer for the beachy getaway of my dreams, and my nerdy side is excited to see history now too!
Awesome! We hope you have a wonderful time!
I enjoyed seeing the sunsets.
Thrasher's fries are definitely the way to go! Fun seeing your take on a place we know well!
Dolphin-watching with morning coffee! That's such a lucky catch. Delaware looks like a beautiful place. Thanks for putting it on my radar
Yeh-luv2watch the Dolphins (really probably Porpoise-but we keep the kids happy)….come visit…
I’m so glad you got Thrashers! They were my first solid food as a baby! 😂😂 Best fries in the world!
Connecticut has so many nice places , I am really excited when you come to visit my small state!
New Castle Delaware resident here. Just found your channel after daydreaming of driving to Tuk, and pleased to see you visited Delaware!
When you stop through Maine again you should take the peaks island ferry and explore Battery Steele! It’s an abandoned military base on the island, and it’s so fun to get a flashlight and get in there! Greeting from Portland, ME!
That sounds like a ton of fun! We won't have time for it on this trip unfortunately. We're focusing most of our time on the states we haven't visited. We definitely want to spend more time in Maine in the future though. It's one of our favorite states in the Northeast! Thanks for those recommendations!
@@AdventuresofAplusK understandable! Thanks for the reply!
We so enjoy your travels and often plan to visit places you visit, here in CONUS and afar. This time you explored where we were 2 yrs ago. Brought back many memories. The cannonball was there when we left ... promise!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
We'll take you off our detective list then! 😜
You guys always eat something that my my mouth water. Those pillowy fries looked fabulous.
We are so glad you are back in the U.S.
We just re-subscribed and look forward to your videos again.
Doug and Pam
Belen, New Mexico U.S.A.
great video. Thank you
I live in Lewes. Hyped to see Taco Reho on here, love them.
Hello Adventurers, I see that your not to far from New England! I love Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City as I have lots of relatives in the region. Hey WAIT...you didn't share your delicious fries for us...NOT FAIR😊😊😊!! I'm looking forward for your trip to New England...and especially Rhode Islands beautiful coastline...and especially NEWPORT! OUTSTANDING Kathryn & Adam!!
So fun to see you around places where I grew up going to!! And, to see you both enjoying a slower pace (at least it appears that way...) there. How fun to start and end a day on the beach, right? Glad you had nice weather, even if the ocean was cold. Back on bikes again, too, but maybe a little different from Vietnam. ;) You were SO CLOSE to Cape May - hope you get there another time someday. And Thrasher's really are the best - glad you tasted that delicacy before the birds got ya!! Also, I'm totally Team Burnt Cheese....on anything, really!! Thanks again for sharing - makes me wanna get to the beach soon!!
We had a fantastic time in Delaware! It was a pleasant surprise! We rode the ferry over to Cape May and then drove through, but didn't spend much time. It looked nice though! Thrasher's was top notch!
Haha, my favorite part of video is where he made comments in the face holes. Also, the trail looks beautiful along salt marshes.
I’m a Delawarean. Been in Florida since 1998. Thx for sharing
We spent a week last October across the way in Cape May. Both places look very much the same and equally beautiful.
That's 20 minutes from our house. I can point you in the direction of lots of awesome things to do!
Miss the dog 🐕! Great video - all of them are…..bringing my loved US to Germany! Minutes later………Ah - should have waited - there’s the dog!
Love Delaware beaches! ❤
We were in Ocean City, MD on Friday. Thought about going into Deleware on Sat before heading home but decided not to. Now I wish we had. But we had a 2 day drive to get home. Oh well. Maybe next time.
You guys are too cute. I love watching your travels!
We really loved this one! Two of our best friends live in Rehoboth Beach! We have been there many, many times. When we picked up our 2022 Airstream at Colonial Airstream we took the Lewes Ferry from NJ and stayed at Cape Henlopen State Park and rode bikes on the same route as you! So fun, I sent your link to our friends to watch and they loved it! PS. We are at Muncho Lake….so beautiful!
How funny! It is really beautiful in Delaware!
Oooooo! We are so jealous though! Sounds like the trip is going great! Can we swap places, please?! 😂
Great video! You guys put out such great content! Looking forward to your massachusetts travels. Hope you make it to Boston. Its a pretty special place.
Fyi new haven ct has some of the best pizza in the country if you go by it when you are in connecticut.
Keep up the great work!
Stay tuned! We're excited to share!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I'm in Northern Delaware and spent a lot of time in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes. They call it Lower Slower Delaware. Taco Reho used to be a food truck. Best fish burrito. My favorite spot is The Point. Low tide and sunset allows you to walk in the tide pools. It's my happy place.
We had read about Lower Slower Delaware and got that vibe! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Cool spot,,,nless joe's in town : o
Great vidio thanks for your hard work 👍👍🐕🚐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
Good job, and shout out to Delaware and all you Delawaricans!
Very nice, 4decades in Rehohboth, it has changed a lot but a great energy here….
Another Great Video! Today is my Birthday ..so it’s fun to see it
Happy birthday, William! Thanks for watching as always! Hope you have a great day! 🎉
@@AdventuresofAplusK I love a lot of condiments w fries
Honey Mustard Ketchup Gravy Vinegar Melted Cheese
Happy birthday!!! I hope it’s amazing!
Loved all your videos ❤ the videos are very clear organized.
Are you guys going to explore Asia more? You should add Indonesia, Korea and Japan to your bucket list.
Thanks!
We can't wait to see more of Asia! Our trip to Vietnam and short times in Singapore and Thailand were life changing! Those 3 you mentioned are definitely on our list! Unfortunately we don't have any immediate plans to get there as of right now 😭
I’ll be in Rehobeth Bch in Dec to do a marathon. Now I know where to eat! My sister who lives in PA vacationed at RB several summers.
Cape Henlopen is nice- I especially like the bike ride to Rehoboth. We did a northeast lighthouse trip pretty recently but the Canadian borders were still closed at the time- so we made it up to the border and the eastern most point in the US- hugging the coast the whole way up. I think we took 3 ferries (including one to Nantucket) on that trip. I have a video of that trip if you're inclined to see our path.
Rehoboth Beach is my favorite place on earth.
M2 but Vina Del Mar comes in a very close second…
Delaware is another state that I would never think of intentionally going to for a vacation. But you make it look really great. These state tourism departments should be paying you big money
Thank you for saying that! ❤
Yea Delaware has dinosaurs working in the local governments and departments. The websites are insanely outdated
there are several of those towers in new jersey, one near sunset beach, cape may pt, and one in cape may part of a motel.
Oh good to know!
My wife is from Maryland and has told me stories about Thrasher's Fries. She said she and her family would grab a bucket every summer when they visited the beach.
Hopefully we're not too late, but when you're in Jersey, stop at Country Kettle Chowda in Long Beach Island. We recommend the New England clam chowder and the Lobster Bisque. Another good spot on that Island is the Delaware Avenue Oyster House which has an awesome Jersey chowder that has porkroll instead of bacon in it!
Hi! Yes we're long gone from Jersey (our videos are usually a few weeks delayed) and had a great time! Since we spent time at the beach in the Delaware video we decided to spend our time in Jersey more inland. Long Beach Island and Country Kettle Chowda look delish! Thanks for the recommendations!
Glad you enjoyed your time there. I know all those areas very well. Hopefully you got to try some Grottos Pizza! If you had been there in July you could have gone to the DE State Fair which is big in lower DE. Are you guys taking the Ferry over to NJ as you head north?
The fair sounds like a lot of fun! We did take the ferry and it was awesome! Stay tuned for the next video!
Y’all past right by me and didn’t stop to say hi 😊
I am a Delaware local, I can tell you the seagulls know who's new around these parts...
😂
So true…did you know the trick to keep them at bay-look them in the eye, they know what you are looking at and they don’t like it….
@@1h1oh34 Yes. Where I work I have to run people’s fast food out to their parking spaces and lately the sea gulls have been getting more brave. One tried to swoop near me but I held the bag close and stared it down and it veered away. But I also like to feed them sometimes (away from the restaurant so they don’t try to come in)
@@starrydragonfox yeh-don’t have any emotions in your eyes(anger/violent)….but a moving forward at any moment…the understand systematic actions with faultless aim…
Wow not to far away from my home of PA.
Apple cider, malt or regular vinegar on fries is the way to go!
Heading there for retirement next year! Leaving crowded and expensive SoCal.
My home state 😊
Born and raised
I assume Jersey is next on the trip and I hope you got to visit the pine barrens. I also hope you mention our legend the jersey devil which our nhl team is named after. Anyway enjoy my home state it deserves more love then it gets
Stay tuned! 😊
1st! What a coinkydink, I'm leaving tomorrow to go there. Lums pond SP to be precise. Maybe we will run into each other!
We're long gone from Delaware, but hope you had a great trip!
He’s at my state that I live in!
TACOS 🌮!
LOL at Adam pretending to be the family >_< I'm wondering what y'all thought of the chicken tinga tacos. Have you had it before? its one of my favorites but can sometimes be a little spicy. As always, thanks for bringing us along!
Lol we have too much fun with the face-in-holes sometimes! 😂
We have had chicken tinga tacos before, but it's been years. They are super tasty!
Mi live in Delaware so I know you wil love thrashers
Are you going swing back to DC metropolitan area? If so, when?
No, not on this trip. We do have a video of DC though!
Fun fact....Your campfire wood was split and packaged by the inmates at the Sussex County Violation of Probation Center in Georgetown. It's one of the jobs that they do while serving their sentence.
Oh cool!
r u taking the ferry over to cape may? I spent 30 years living in cape may.
We did! Stay tuned for the next video!
@@AdventuresofAplusK beautiful, hopefully the weather was nice, cant wait to see what you did in my hometown.
Oh we only took the ferry. We wanted a change of scenery after spending time at the beach in Delaware. We aren't the biggest beach people
@@AdventuresofAplusK still enjoy new jersey, garden state parkway and north maybe, i will wait and see
Love your videos and adventures, I have done lots myself too. I am originally from Atlantic Canada, if you need any help or suggestions for your adventures please don’t hesitate to reach out and have a blast!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Have you used STARLINK for internet use?
We have! It's been awesome! We'll update in a future video!
Are ya'll going to sequoia any time soon.
Our plans for this year are finish our final 7 states then visit eastern Canada. So we don’t have any plans to visit California this year. We do hope to be in that area next summer though
Cool, thanks.
how are you able to travel across the U.S? what do you guys do for a living. this is a dream!
Hello! We earn a living through our CZcams videos and our blog. This blog post shares more about how we afford to travel! Thanks and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for sharing. I know the question is a bit off, but I couldn't help it. Thanks for the videos
@@AdventuresofAplusK
You got to try white vinegar on your French fries
All they had was ACV so that’s what we went with 😊
When y’all knock off every state you guys should make a state rankings video👀
Oooo that would be tough!
@@AdventuresofAplusK after watching your video where you picked your favorite spots on your Alaska trip, it can’t be much more painful than that😂
Where’s sweet Kona? Didn’t see her in this video.
She was hanging out in the van with our new AC for most of these adventures
PILLOWY™
"...or imagine being able to be magically whisked away to...Delaware. Hi...I'm in Delaware."
Party on!
Where's Kona?
I saw her at the end but not on any walks
She stayed cozy with our new AC in the van 😊
🥰🫶🏼
Delaware is an underappreciated gem of a state.
i think its ocra or something
What? No AMC Museum?
Looks pretty neat, but didn't have time for it on this trip! There's always more to see and do than time we have to spend. We'll just have to come back!
Delaware is just another Lumberton nc
go to funland
