Saying Good-bye and Harpers Ferry, WV

September 29, 2013

Bye-bye to Family in Monrovia, MD

 Ah, we are leaving MD today.  So sad.

 Farewell Breakfast.  Nathan, Gene, Jim, Terri, Kim, Luke.

 A few minutes of Frisbee before we go.

Trampoline + Nathan + Sleeping Bag = SILLY!

Really, we DO have to drive away now.  So sad to say bye-bye.

Checking out Harpers Ferry, WV (we'll come back tomorrow).

 Crossing the Potomac River

 The leaves are beginning to change.

 Harpers Ferry Train Station.  

A really HISTORIC place.  B&O Railroad--used on the Monopoly Game.

 Shenadoah River. BEAUTIFUL!

Nearly at the center of the Appalachian Trail.

We'll be back tomorrow.  We did not have enough time to check out this place.
