Thomas Jefferson felt that this area, where the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers come together, was one of the most beautiful places. George Washington felt that this would be a good place for an Armory, likewise because of those two rivers. Harper’s Ferry is a beautiful area, and I think it would be a wonderful place to buy some land and retire, were it not for all those tourists that keep coming through and making it so crowded. There is a fair amount of history, but (brace yourselves) I’m not going to talk about it on this post. Today, I think I just want to show you how beautiful (I know I keep using the same word, but I can’t think of another one that sounds like how I talk) this area is.
The first image is the Potomac coming in from the left side, and than on the right side it is flowing away from the camera. The next is the Shenandoah coming in from the left, and joining the Potomac about where you see the brick pillars. The other three are just more shots of the area. I hope you enjoy these shots. This area is well worth visiting. I will be spending more time in the Shenandoah later this week, so I hope to have more pretty pictures to show then. Happy Road-Tripping!

We also thought Harper’s Ferry was a pretty area. Just up the hill from the armory, on the left hand side, was a little cafe where we had really yummy roast beef sandwiches!
