Strawberry Fields Forever

Before I get into our little trip, I have a quick Nathan blurb. This morning I was about to turn the tv on, and Nathan turned to me and said "That is the big tv. Daddy and Pa made that tv". That cracked me up.



Ok, onto the day. We took a trip to Charles County Maryland, to pick Strawberrys. Yut picked us up in his Minivan, and we went down with his family, and Noy's mom. It took a little over an hour to get to form our house. It was fun. I haven't done this thing since I was 12 years old. I think the parents had more fun than the kids. Nathan and especially Austin, did a great job picking ripe berries. It was a perfect day, about 70 as a high. And we got to the place early enough, that there was only one family pickin. We basically had the place to ourselves. When we left there were about 5 cars/minivans just pulling in. The Strawberries were delicious off the vine.

After going there, we were going to go to St. Mary Point. This is where the Potomic river runs into the chesapeake bay. We got to the park, but decided to turn around and eat, since it was lunchtime. We looked for a ghost quiznos by St. Mary's College, and we never found it. So we went to a Mom and Pop type Corner Store, Gas Place, Beer Distributor, and Video Rental. We had some good local sanmiches. Afterwards, we decided to skip the point, and go to a lighthouse. It was a nice and probably the smallest lighthouse I have every seen. Yut said it is the oldest one on the Chesapeake Bay. It was a quaint little area. This lighthouse is on the beach of the Potomic river. It might be seen from the Chesapeake Bay. We had to drive past a small private beach, where people had beach houses accross the street, and owned an actual lot on the water. Many had Gazebos or small shacks by the water. Fortunatly, there was a little two day festival going on, and there were decent amount of people by the lighthouse. You could take a tour of the lighthouse, but we did not want to wait in line. There were other small festivities.
After an hour, we hit the road home.

The only other detail to note, was Trace Atkins was to be in concert in the St. Mary/Charles County Area Sunday the next day. I have not seen as man trucks in one place before. Southern Maryland is a beautifull place to visit.

I bid you goodnight.
