Delaware Themed Bucket List Has Kent County At The Top

We all have bucket list items and this Kent County spot tops Delaware's bucket list rankings.

Most bucket lists have things like skydiving and travel at the top of them.

My personal bucket list mostly consists of fancy restaurants and countries I haven't been too.

But a new bucket list from Alot.com ranks must-see things for the state of Delaware.

Number 1 on the list is in Kent County.

According to Alot.com the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is a top bucket list item.

"Spanning nearly 16,000 acres, this wildlife refuge serves to protect the natural order of Delaware's animal and plant life. It was first created in 1937 as a breeding ground for the waterfowl that would migrate to the area in winter. Don’t miss the Allee House, a farmhouse dating back to before the birth of our nation" Alot.com says.

The wildlife refuge has been around since 1937 and is mostly marshland but does have freshwater wetlands.

The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is a great spot to see Bald Eagles and Diamond Back Terrapins.

Alot.com's Delaware Bucket List also lists the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and the Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library in their top 3 items.

The Hummers Parade in Middletown also made the list.

I had heard of the Hummers Parade but never really dove into it, and now I feel like it's a can't miss!

I love how this parade is solely sponsored by the residents of Middletown and is just one big parody of the past year. It's a great way to unwind and put current events in a comical light.

The Running of the Bulls at the Starboard in Dewey and the Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville also made the Delaware Bucket List rankings.

How many of these events and places have you been to?

When driving down the road in Wilmington or Newark or Rehoboth Beach, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of popular fast food options.  There's a McDonald's, Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell or some other drive-thru fast food stop on pretty much every corner.

I was recently in Southwest Florida and I did take notice of some fast food options we don't have up here in Delaware.  It got me thinking.  Are we missing out on some dynamite fast food spots?

In doing a quick Google search to find out about the most popular fast food brands across the country, I quickly learned that we are in fact missing out on some very popular options across the country.  I have tried several of these places, so I can speak from experience.   We may need to start some petitions.

Luckily, we now have the long awaited, first Raising Cane's location, so that's one brand we can add to the list of what we do have here in the First State.  The stand alone restaurant, with a drive-thru, is located at 127 Grove Lane in Newark.

According to The Raising Cane's website, their concept is simple and unique.  They say they only have ONE LOVE – quality chicken finger meals! At Raising Cane’s you get an exceptionally high quality product served quickly and conveniently. We can do this because we offer a limited menu.  You can learn more about Raising Cane's here.

I haven't tried Raising Canes yet, but I am really looking forward to giving the chicken fingers a try!

You've probably seen an In-N-Out if you've been out to the west coast.  This is a super popular fast food spot in places like like Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

The only thing I really know about Carl's Jr. is that Paris Hilton did a not suitable for work commercial for them years ago.

OK!  I have been to Whataburger and it is delicious.  Think drive-thru really late at night when you need something greasy in your belly.

I've also been to a Culver's.  In fact, I just went on my trip to Florida.  The food is good, the milkshakes are even better.  I would recommend the Wisconsin cheese curds.

I haven't tried Raising Cane's but I have had Zaxby's plenty of times before and from what I know, these two places are very similar.

Another location focusing on chicken.  Chicken fingers, chicken salads, chicken sandwiches, they're all good.

I think I went to a Jack In The Box while on vacation in Hawaii like 20 years ago and I don't recall it knockin' my socks off.

Another chicken joint.  I've stopped here for breakfast in North Carolina and the country ham biscuit is delicious.

I've been to Firehouse once before.  It was good, not great.

Even though we don't have one here in Delaware, I'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't tried these world famous sliders.  There's even a movie about White Castle.

Yes, I've been to Jason's Deli too!  The salad bar is unmatched.  I love a good salad bar.  And you get a free ice cream cone too.

Tim Hortons is known for their coffee and donuts.  Most locations are up north, so it's odd we don't have one here in Delaware.
