Memorial Day Weekend- Trip to Harpers Ferry

On Saturday we took a trip to Harpers Ferry, WV. It was only a 35 minute drive from our house. The weather was beautiful- not a cloud in the sky, but temperatures crept higher and higher while we were there. Eli had a lot of fun taking in the sights and sitting on his daddy's shoulders. He was such a good boy.
We walked around a bit and in true Bish fashion, we stopped for ice cream before eating lunch. Harpers Ferry is a beautiful little town, and it felt like we were transported back into Civil War times.

Here is a beautiful Catholic church that we visited. You can see just how nice the weather was.

Mim and Pop are trying to read a carving on a stone across the river. We cracked up at this picture- I couldn't have "posed" them any better. It looks like they are looking for land!

Checking out an old railroad tunnel

Eli's favorite mode of transportation- Daddy's shoulders.

Stopping for a quick pic with Pop

"Daddy, no, not in the barrel!"

Mim holding a sleeping little boy. She is a magician getting that kid to fall asleep!

Here's Kevin pretending to be a Union soldier. Blends right in, doesn't he?

We had to take a short shuttle bus ride down to the lower town. Eli was pretty excited. I was thinking that this might not be the safest idea!
