After Dan played John Denver's "Country Road" about three dozen times during the 60 mile drive, we arrived in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia for a fun afternoon of checking out the historic town and National Park Service site. The song lyrics speak of the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains, which we drove through and Nickolas enjoyed the car ride for the most part. Harper's Ferry is located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and the Potomac Rivers in West Virginia, but is in view of Virginia across the Shenandoah and Maryland over the Potomac, which flows straight past D.C. http://www.nps.gov/archive/hafe/home.htmThe weather was perfect this morning and Nickolas woke us up bright and early to get outside and enjoy it at the park followed by a walk. After a good late-morning nap, we took a little drive. I have a favorite spot in Harper's Ferry that serves excellent corn dogs and malts, so we indulged although Nickolas kept trying to put mustard in his malt. A newly mobile Nickolas had a fun time in several museums and enjoyed the interactive exhibits and an overall fun day.

Mini me?
But it says to examine it closely!
