Harper's Ferry

Today the 6 interns and Kristan Hawkins, SFLA Executive Director, took an outing to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. Harper's Ferry is a historic Civil War town that's not been made famous by just one event or historic figure but by many figures over time, including: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, John Brown, Stonewall Jackson, and Mark Twain. 
It was much hotter today than it's been all of this past week, and the town is very hilly, so by the end of the day we were exhausted. We got to see the Potomac, where WV, Virginia, and Maryland all intersect (see picture), and the old Catholic Church at the top of the hill, along with browsing cute little shops and enjoying lunch together. Kristan's husband came along, and the two of them are an adorable couple. Kristan's hilarious, too. We had a fun time and after we came home Leslie and I shared a DiGiorno pizza with "grandpa" Dan!

I'll keep this post short, for once! Enjoy the following pictures:
