Merry Christmas

I can't believe that it is already Christmas Eve!!!  I know it has been slow on the blog, but I have some exciting plans for the new year, and can't wait to document the fun.  Christmas at my house usually involves a lot of driving, in this case I drove to Virginia to visit my brother with my parents last weekend.  I took a ton of pictures, but as always the star of the show was my dog, Mr. Winks.

Here is the little ham dressed up as an elf.  Behind him in the first picture is our dog Stormy Blue.  I think Stormy was thinking, "thank goodness I don't have to wear that get up," hahahah.

Merry Christmas to All!!!!

Love Always,

Harpers Ferry

So on this blustery Saturday morning I went for a hike in Harpers Ferry with a friend from work.  Walking through the center of the old town was really like walking back in time.

I loved the ornate porches and the calm of the deserted town.  I guess we came at the right time of year.

This is an active rail road bridge with a pedestrian walk-way, we walked across the bridge to get to the trail.

I took this picture before the hike because I loved the sweet white house, little did I know that I was also including in the frame, the cliff that I was climbing up to.  Geez Louise was that a hike.

The day started out overcast, and little by little the sun came out.  On a normal day that would be a great thing, but it became sooo bright that I was worried about the harsh light on my pictures.  Thankfully I think it worked out perfectly.

I'm guessing that there was a fire of some sort, but I love this hollowed out building.  

You may notice that no hiking photos were included in this post, that is because an eighth of the way up I realized that I was sorely out of shape.  One third of the way up I waffled over whether or not to turn back, but thankfully I made it too the top and the view was spectacular.

It was worth every minute just to see the gorgeous view though, amazing.

We saw multiple trains today, but I wasn't in the right position to get a great picture.  I would have loved to get a picture of a train going through the tunnels here.

I have been aching to get a good panoramic picture, here are a few attempts from today.

I did some minor editing to this picture, but the sun really was peaking through the clouds throughout the day, and every so often you would see a spotlight shine through.  Gorgeous day.

Love Always,

Meg
