Vacation (2013) - Post #14, Harpers Ferry Pt.2

Oh, this is a doozy...

On Wednesday March 5, 2014,  I had posted about the first part of our day in Harpers Ferry, WV.  

As I type this, it is December 12th, 2016 and I became mildly obsessed with finishing up the 2013 vacation because of this post.

I started looking at pictures and had such fond memories of that vacation and especially of this wonderful little town that has such amazing importance in Americas history.

This is where I had left off in the original post.  I believe this to be a hotel, which based on what I know is behind me when I took this photo, would have excellent views of but I honestly can't remember.  Who cares, really...  the landscaping is neat!

And the road as it heads uphill (the direction we're walking).

More of the same...

Awesome little restaurants and coffee shops would just pop up as you walked along.  And since they're built into the side of a mountain as it descends to the river, you get really cool patios such as this.

If I recall correctly, and I likely don't, we ate at the Potomac Grille.  This is the little cutie-pie Ethan, enjoying himself a fry of the French.

Then there's these two, teasing and jacking around...

Another strange photo that I thought was cool.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

It's him again!

That's the local train depot.

Now that we've climbed a bit of the hill, I figured that I would turn around and show from whence we came.  That building just to the right of center is the building that I thought was the hotel.  The road on the right is how a person or persons would get themselves to the Ruins of St. Johns Episcopal Church (see in that post from years back).

A bit further on up the road from our dining place.

Beautiful rock formation with tree's growing out of it.

I just loved the houses along the road.  I can just imagine sitting on that upper balcony and looking out over the river valleys on sunny, rainy, and even snowy days.

At one point, I was pleasantly surprised when I turned around from taking pictures of the houses and rock formations and saw this!!  Have I mentioned this is a beautiful little town?

That's the train depot again way back in the upper right of the photo.  There are restaurants, bars, flower shops and whatever else accessible by these kinds of crazy staircases along our journey.  Beautiful town...

And, I have nearly as many more pictures to finish up this vacation as we descend one of these crazy staircases...
