I have "See a NASCAR race" way up at the top of my bucket list. We just took a tour of the Dover International Speedway, affectionately referred to as the Monster Mile. The tour took us through all the VIP spots in this 500 million dollar venue. The winners podium, the garage, pit row, and even the press facility. Pretty cool right? Tough to make any cooler right? How about doing the the whole thing on a segway from Segzone?! Annnnnd wrapping up the tour with a full lap on the track at top segway speed...12.5mph! Not quite the 180mph that the stock cars are doing we had a tough time matching their pace of three laps a minute. It was so awesome!

TIP: If going to the races tickles your fancy head over to the track for their upcoming Fall Triple Header Weekend September 29th- October 2.

Cruise through some of Delaware's most scenic areas and support five local organizations at 25th annual Amish Country Bike Tour this September 10th in Dover, Delaware. Early bird registration is over, but you can still ride with the nearly 1400 cyclists.

And its ok if you're just in it for the pie, its amazing!

TIPS: If you're bike needs a tune up, keep eyes peeled for Dave's Road Bikes, Inc. who will serve as the rolling bike shop the day of the event.

Stop by Byler's for a fresh baked pie (hm hm...apple crumb) of your own or at Fifer Orchards to some delicious fresh produce or a romp through the corn maze!

Mardela Springs is an authentic small town. There's a bunch of unique things to do there. You can see an original Mason & Dixon marker and bone up on the local history at one of their historic museums or you can check out the nation's largest indoor coral farm. No joke! This little town has a lot to offer. And when you're done with your exploration, head over to the Sharptown Fireman's Carnival that runs through the entire month of August. You and your kin can ride any one of their antique carnival rides, play games, or even enter the raffle. And when you work up an appetite you have to try one of their oyster sandwiches. They're world famous!

Hundreds flocked to Rehoboth Beach's shores to sculpt, drip and mold grains of sand into everything from freestanding buildings to breakfast feasts for the 33rd annual sandcastle contest. Thousands lined the shores in awe of the creations and confirming that in Rehoboth there is always fun to be had in the sun and in the SAND.

Mark the first Saturday of August on your calendars for this annual treat!
