Harper's Ferry, West Virginia

Just got back...

Harper’s Ferry offered a good mix of history (John Brown & Civil War) and nature. Just got back from a day trip.

First, we did a mini visit to the historic area. The John Brown Museum (not the wax museum, but the park-run museum) was a good history lesson as well as a remarkable accomplishment of cramming a museum into a historic building. Ate lunch at some lame place near the RR station and parking. Technically, you can park and walk into the park-sponsored sites “on the honor system” (i.e. free). Didn’t really see anywhere to park, though, except in the park service lot. Go ahead and pay the park service, park in their lot and feel good about supporting a good cause.

Then, we went on a 3-hour white water rafting trip with River Riders. More stopping and going than I had imagined white water to be, but still a fun way to spend the afternoon. The River Riders guides seemed a bit uneven with some of them on top and things and positive, and others trying their hardest to cultivate their slacker personas.

Foamhenge, Natural Bridge

Worth the price of admission...

…the price being free. Joking aside, this is a great 10 minute stop. The sum is better than the parts (of big pieces of foam).

Arizona Renaissance Festival, Apache Junction

Arizona Ren Faire Rules

This is a fantastic Renaissance faire! The performances are top notch and there is a lot of enthusiasm here. To top it all off, the beautiful surroundings. I recommend it 100%.
