Harper's Ferry - Through Gavin's Eyes

We had a awesome time at Harper's Ferry! We went to the national park and saw TONS of cool stuff like John Brown's Fort, the Harper cemetery (where Harper's Ferry's founding father is buried), Jefferson Rock (where Thomas Jefferson stood to look at the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers), where Union and Confederate soldiers stood battling (there were also cannons), and many ruins. 

This is where they made guns!

The campground was pretty cool. It had a jumping pillow, the biggest and coolest arcade I've ever seen (when we went it was unplugged; dag nab it), a giant chess set (it also had checkers), a cool camp store, and a bunch of other cool stuff!
