We were going to Fort Delaware also, but they closed it due to inclement weather. We were not happy, we checked ahead, called the office with no answer and arrived with a closed sign on the door. It is a Civil War fort/prison. We've been there before also but my kids hadn't and that's why we went.

The Air Force Museum is mostly transport and refueling related, but the B-17 is awesome, you can walk right up to it, get under it, take interior bomb bay photos, etc. The inside displays are pretty nice. The planes outside are deteriorating, which is not good, would like to see them kept better but they are huge so other than a massive hanger, I don't know what else you could do with them.

I'll keep the gun shop in mind for the next time we are down there. We just kept finding things to do wherever we went. I've been to Lewes dozens of times but always straight in to the charter boats and straight out. Never had a clue they were bombarded in the War of 1812.
