Eight years….that’s how long Harper’s Ferry has been on my list of places I wanted to go with the girls. Clearly it wasn’t that high on the list since it has taken eight years to make it happen.  When I first looked into going, specifically tubing, Harper was too young…the minimum age is four!  

Fast forward eight years, and this was Harper’s Ferry.  She led the way at multiple points along the river. 

We had beautiful weather; the sun was shining…a perfect day.  The current was quicker than normal so the 1.5 mile river ride took only about an hour; we made two trips. 

We tubed.  We talked.  We familied. 

After tubing and getting somewhat cleaned up, we made our way into town. 

We worked up an appetite and ate a delicious lunch at The Rabbit Hole.  It was all delicious; the hush puppies may have been my favorite. 

We explored town after lunch. 

Beautiful views of the Shenandoah.  

And topped off the day with Hershey’s ice-cream and snow-cones. 

With the girls’ activities it’s not often that we have free weekends.  After eight years, we finally took advantage and made it happen.
