Denton MD SummerFest !! Aug. 15-17, 2008



This trip took Lee & Kathy, accompanied by eldest daughter Lorri and her twin 2-year olds, to Denton MD, about 75 miles from home. Denton is a small rural town near the Delaware border that hosts an annual SummerFest. Main Street is closed and filled with exhibit boothes, arts & craft vendors, music stages, food of every description, rides and other activities.

Martinak State Park, just outside of town, was home base for the Barth. The park is located on the banks of the historic Choptank River, the setting for Michael Mischner's great classic novel, Chesapeake - a book everyone should read!


Lee's favorite easy-chair......


Like most Maryland state parks, a great uncrowded camping site....

" Are we there yet?"
Choptank River at Martinak.......30+ meandering miles to the Chesapeake Bay.

"Bampa, are you SURE the Wright brothers started this way?".....

Watkins Regional Park - Annual Family Campout!

It's Family Weekend again (August 8-10, 2008) at Watkins Regional Park. An event we've been doing for a few years now. Only about 15 miles from home, Watkins offers a virtually deserted campground, playground, marry-go-round, train, nature center, bike trails, petting farm and lots of things for nephews, nieces & grandkids to do.

Mom/Grandmom/Great-Grandmom Brahm


I think there's about four or five clans and two or three generations of the Brahm family here.
