Catch Up

Where do I start? First, is anyone even still checking this blog? Doubtful at this point. It is hard to believe how quickly summer is zooming by. Most of what is going on in life isn't blog material so I'll have to start being creative!

Last weekend, Sean and I finally found some time for a long weekend out of town. We only travelled about 70 miles but it was nice to spend some quality time in Harper's Ferry, WV. We stayed at a great B&B that had an amazing view of the river and the train tracks. Great view, not the best place for a good night's rest. The trains come by constantly and because of the tunnel, there is a lot of honking. Which means a lot of tossing and turning. We had a great suite and there were two resident cats that we hung out with when possible. One night I watched one attack a snake from the deck. I was going to go help the toad get away from the cat, but luckily I got a glimpse in the moonlight before I went down there. It was just a small snake and this cat was enthralled by it.

We went white water tubing and paid a visit to the casino. In the evening we would have dinner and then come back to sit on the glorious deck to watch the moon rise, the trains go by, the deer passing through, a cat attacking a snake and whatever else came our way. We had a bottle of champagne and enjoyed conversations with the other guests. It was nice to spend few nights out of town.

Still listening. ;)

I always enjoyed Harpers Ferry. Never spent the night there though. I bet that is a fun town to walk around in the evening after most of the touristas head home.
