Harper's Ferry is Beautiful!

Day 2 of our mini-vacation...

Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.  Look at the awesome view from the cemetery down to the Potomac.  One of the most beautiful sites in the world! 

I took a picture of this gravestone because of what year she was born.  1781...  Crazy.

This is from Jefferson rock where Thomas Jefferson declared that "this scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic."  It is beautiful!

Ruins of a church on our way down from the cemetery and Jefferson's rock.

St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church just down the way from the ruins and you can see the top of it from Jefferson's rock.  The church has beautiful stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and pointed archways inside.  It's beautiful!

I really liked these flowers!

A reenactor teaching some tourists how to properly hold and shoot a Civil War gun.

Ruins of a cotton factory on Virginius Island at Harper's Ferry.  I really liked these ruins.  We sat on the edge of the ruins for a little while (where Anne and Kara are sitting) enjoying the awesome view of God's creations! Oh how I love nature! (We had to walk on the brick wall in the left of the picture to get to the edge)

Sitting on the wall of the ruins above.

Some more ruins. Virginius Island was so peaceful!

A cool bridge over the canal.

A picture in a Civil War background.  If you look closely you can see my raccoon eyes.  I got pretty sunburned on Saturday from being outside all day and because I was wearing sunglasses I looked like a raccoon.

The weather was perfect both Saturday and Sunday.  Both days were fun and relaxing!  Thanks Kara and Anne for letting me come a long for the ride :)
