So, the beautiful blue skies and comfortable temperatures led us over to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia for the afternoon. We made the drive (about an hour) after church, and on the way there, we were able to see lots of fall foliage, which was an added bonus to making the trip.
Our destination was a tiny town in West Virginia where Maryland and Virginia are also within view. It's situated on the corner (wish I had a better word than corner, but 7th grade geography terms are currently escaping me) where the Potomac River splits into the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. The riverside was a great place to walk around and take some fun pictures! We also loved walking on the stone streets and steps to visit some of the shops, restaurants and museums. At the end of the night, we even spent some time enjoying the simplicity of skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks (turns out it's not just a song).
Here are a few pics from our afternoon/evening:
Hanging around on the Shenandoah River.
A Catholic church at the top of a hill, with train tracks down below.
The Potomac River.
It's just about the halfway point of the Appalachian Trail.
The train tunnel.
Steps up to the church.
Some steps to a house in town. We thought they looked pretty cool!
(Isn't my husband, handsome?)
The whole town was nestled pretty much on the side of a mountain. Steep walkways and steps everywhere, it was pretty neat.
Skippin' rocks.
And a train went by! (I love trains for those of you who are unaware of my fetish.)
The mountain turned red as the sun started to set.
We caught a quick picture of the West Virginia sunset as we were driving away.
The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
Psalm 50:1-2
Have a great week!
