August 2011 - Harper's Ferry, New York City & Washington DC
The entire family visited NYC for a few days with a quick stop in Harper's Ferry on the way and overnight stop in Washington DC on the return trip.
Harper's Ferry
Harper's Ferry is one of the most naturally picturesque locations I have ever seen.
Had no idea you could float the river, I would love to do that some day.
New York City
We stayed in Queens, just over the 59th street bridge from Manhattan. This is the view from our subway stop to the city.
