We left D.C. Saturday morning. We took a detour on our way to Philadelphia and went to Harper's Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia. The drive there was beautiful! We took a bus up to Bolivar Heights, a civil war battle site, to see a cannon demonstration. Bryson was so excited to ride a bus. The whole time we were on the bus he was singing his own little song, "We're going on a trip, on a bus. We're going on a trip, on a bus." over and over. I was pretty darn adorable. Luckily those sitting near us thought it was cute too. We all had it stuck in our heads the rest of the day. We got up to the site and they had a few cannons along the walk. The boys loved climbing on them.
First they told us about the roll of each person that worked with the cannons.
Then they fired it. It was so loud, and you could feel the boom in your chest. The boys were pretty impressed.
The view form up on the ridge was pretty spectacular.
After the demonstration we went down into the town and stopped by the rivers edge for a picnic lunch. After lunch Rob gave the boys a lesson in skipping rocks.
Then we went and walked through the town. They have a bunch of shops,
and an old church you can walk through.
Another great day!
