Craziness In Harpers Ferry!!!!!!!!

Craziness In Harpers Ferry!!!!!!

     Today was(another) crazy day!!!!! We woke up at 7 A.M. and then got our stuff together for the trip and then got on the road to Harpers Ferry. The car ride is 1 hour and 30 minuets from Koko's house. When we got there we checked in and then got sunscreen and put a lot on.  After sunscreen we went to the ziplining tent and waited for everyone else. I ended up not doing it because I don't like heights and the highest one was about 30 feet and I don't like anything that high. Koko stayed with me because the whole thing was going to be about 1 hour and 15 minuets but we got to go to the TRAMPOLINE!!!! The trampoline was like a pillow and it was SO FUN!!!!!! We stayed on there for about 10 minuets and then we got tired of the bugs and heat so we went to the main shop. First we got       the tubing tickets and then we went and got water shoes for tubing. After the water shoes we went and picked up Izzy from the zip lining place and then we got snacks from the shop. After we finished the snacks we went to the tubing place and we got life jackets on but we didn't go because Izzy was feeling bad so we got in the car and we went to the actuall town of harpers ferry. First we ate lunch and I got  a really good burger and Izzy and Koko both got salads. After that really good lunch we walked around town and then we went in the John Brown wax museum and it was very creepy!!! There were 3 floors and a basement of it and all it is you walk up and down creepy halls and there are different displays of wax figures that tell the life of John Brown. John Brown was a abolitionist that hated slavery and in the mid-1800's he led a rebellion in harpers ferry but he was captured and hung and that was about his life in the museum, too. Another thing is that the museum is haunted. There are 2 ghosts in the museum and we were by our selves which made it creepier. I think that I actually saw a moving shadow, too. After that we did 2 miles of appalachian trail!!! The appalachian trail goes through Georgia to Maine and it takes about 6 months to do it!!!  We only did 2 miles and the real trail is about 5,000 miles!!!! After that we got Ice cream and went to our hotel and it had an Infinity pool!! We played in the pool for a lot of time and then went to sleep and that was craziness in harpers ferry.

  1. Lucky you visiting Harpers Ferry! I never got to go there. Would love to experience seeing
    the ghosts. When you read about John Brown in Social Studies at school, you will remember this place!
