Last Wednesday I decided that we needed to get out of town for a little bit. So we made the hour drive up north to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Harpers Ferry is the cutest little town and the meeting point of the Potomac and Shenandoah river. The views are incredible and you could hike for days. We did a TON of walking and had a blast. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I don't even think it got above 75.
Happy hubby
Not happy toddler...but what's new?
Enter stickers. Happy toddler. Stickers=cure all around here.
Does it get any cuter than this?
Gorgeous.
Since we hadn't ever been before we went into several of the little museums they have when we first arrived.
Next up we went to lunch. We ate outside at a little cafe and it was delish.
Technically an "outtake" but I couldn't not share. This picture just makes me giggle.
The best one of the two of us from lunch. Oh toddlerhood.
Yum. Thankfully we walked all day long so this was an okay lunch ;-)
Walking across the bridge.
We walked for a little over a mile and found a path that led down to the bank of the river. Our little spot had a huge rock that created a shallow pool of water. Perfect for toddler toes. It even had some minnows and plenty of shells.
Our view. Not too bad.
We even did some nursing on our big rock. It's always interesting to nurse in the outdoors. Ha.
Not so surprisingly, Emma Claire fell in the water so we ditched her clothes and she just played in a diaper.
I don't think she minded one bit.
Favorite picture from the day. Holding daddy's hand.
Naked. Gorgeous weather. Water to play in. And no distractions. She was one happy girl.
I carried EC in the backpack the second leg of our trip.
Before leaving we stopped in town again and got some ice cream.
A couples shot with a 50mm is a little tight. But we got one.
I think we wore her out. She slept almost the entire walk back to the car, then stayed asleep when I set her down. We were cracking up.
Sweet baby
Of all the fun things we did that day, I'm certain this was his favorite part.
Ready to head home
We had a great time and cannot wait to go back!

ok those pics of her sleeping in the backpack are the cutest thing ever! I can't even imagine either of mine staying asleep through that. I love her :)
My favorite picture is the one of Daddy and daughter standing on the rocks. Gorgeous shot!
Such a beautiful day - and her kissing you on the cheek - darling!
These pictures are GORGEOUS!! You captured the beauty of Harpers Ferry :-) Love the pics by the water with the mountains in the background.
