Vacation, Day 6

[rosieknight]

We visited the site of the Battle of An.. Sharpsburg today. Between it and Gettysburg, Sharpsburg is obviously the less visited site. We took another audio driving tour... and ran into heavy, sporadic rain three times. The first two were all right, since we hadn't left the car. The third time - Burnsides Bridge - we were out taking pictures and looking around. We got drenched. Mom had the worst soaking, as she was furthest from the car when the rain hit because she was standing on the bridge.

After that, we spontaneously decided to go to Harper's Ferry. While the site has a lot of history attached, I was not impressed. The Visitor Center was located far from town and all of the three surrounding historical sites, so the only way to visit them was via bus. A bus they wouldn't allow our dog on. No thank you. Instead, we drove through the town and past the site of the famous armory there.

Tomorrow, we're leaving at 5 am or so to try and reach home by 9 pm.

Wish me luck!
