Ethan's mom stayed with us last weekend and on Saturday we decided to go on a day trip. We drove to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, which is about a 45 minute drive from our house. It also happened to be a free admission weekend at all National Parks, our lucky day! We parked at the visitor's center and took the shuttle bus down to the historic town of Harper's Ferry. It's located at where the Potomac and Shenandoah River's converge and the view is beautiful. There were people dressed in Civil War era clothes and Union soldiers walking the town. The Appalaichan Trail runs through Harper's Ferry and we took a short walk on the trail to Jefferson Rock. Thomas Jefferson stood at that rock in the late 1700's and admired the view of the rivers. It was fun to visit someplace new and we wish we hadn't waited this long to do it. We are hoping to take my parents here, depending on how things go with the baby and when he decides he wants to be born.
