In event 4 of our series following the Wife's triathlons, we take you to Smyrna, DE, just outside of Dover. Smyrna is a quaint town of 7,500, long regarded for its 490 buildings in the National Register of Historic homes; birthplace of an international lawyer, a country singer, and the last person to be hung in the U.S.; and being 36 feet above sea level (strangely chosen as a fact on the town's web site). Let's go to the videotape (and pictures)!
Lake Como, part of Smyrna's 0.194 square kilometers of water, before the triathlon people take over.
I should've expected this license plate at a race.
I told you the triathlon people were coming.
Killing time while the Wife rode her bike, I snagged this gopher putting hole for $3 at a yard sale...what a steal! For some reason they paid $24.99 for it back in the day. It took all the cash I had on hand so I wasn't able to afford the $0.25 cup of lemonade on the side. The economy's rough, ya know.
The post race spread was a good faith effort for this inaugural event...including sandwiches left in the heat for a few hours...
...Warm watermelon...
...and sun-dried pizza.
We saved our hunger for Sonic down DuPont Highway, as there are none in Maryland.
But not before picking up my latest Manchild toy...a Playstation 3...thumbs up to Delaware's lack of a sales tax.
If I don't find myself playing much PS3 over the next 3 weeks...I'll either return it for a refund or turn it into a George Foreman grill (above).
Porn for foodies continues with onion rings...yum!
Checkout the Wife's hand modeling portfolio entry.
The Sonic burger with mayo tastes much like a whopper.
The strawberry-banana smoothie was tasty and refreshing!
Maybe we'll return next year and checkout the Smyrna opera house as long as the Sonic is still open of course.
