Life After 50: My Fall Vacation October-November 2014

October 31, 2014 - Halloween in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia

A friend I met at the July, 2013 Nora Roberts Book Signing met me at the park and ride for Harper's Ferry just a little bit outside of Boonsboro MD

We drove about 18 miles to the West Virginia State Park.

The above pictures were taken at the lot where the shuttle picks up visitor's to Harper's Ferry.

The shuttle had a recorded message describing the history of the surroundings going by as we headed to Harper's Ferry the picture above and those following were taken from the shuttle.

Here are some links to history of Harper's Ferry:

Here's some pictures from our walk about town.

Loved this tree - hard to get it all in one picture.

Eva and I at Jefferson's rock - I used the timer on my iPhone.

Long hike up but small price for a wonderful view

Rest room wreath - beautiful and they had good salads too.

Lovely Fall Colors

The trip back to Boonsboro was quick even though we traveled through West Virginia, and Virginia it was only 18 miles. The last pictures were taken from the car on the return trip.

After we arrived at the Boonsboro park and ride Eva had to go home to prepare for her trip to South Dakota and I went on a shopping expedition at Olde Homestead and Turn The Page Bookstore Cafe links are here:

Olde Homestead has excellent merchandise. I found many great additions to my apartment decorations. I'll post them on a page on my Picture Blog - more to follow on FB.

Here's my ultimate destination - Turn The Page Bookstore Cafe that hosted the November 1st Book Signing Event for Nora Roberts next one will be on December 6th.
