Traveling with the Schroeders -- family vacation

Part of our family vacation this year took us to some historical sites out east.  We went to Harpers Ferry, WV, Antietam National Battlefield, and Fort McHenry in Baltimore.

We enjoyed our times at these places, and rather than give several paragraphs of description, I will just insert the photos.  Enjoy.

The main street at Harpers Ferry.

Looking up a side street.

John Brown's Fort, from which John Brown was finally arrested.
He was later tried and hanged for insurrection and treason.
This fort has been moved several times, so this is near the original site but not on it.

From Antietam National Battlefield.  These cannons are aimed at the Bloody Cornfield.

The sunken road, or Bloody Lane.  You can find a famous photograph of the battle's aftermath here.

Burnside Bridge, where the Union finally found some success at Antietam.
Nevertheless, the Battle of Antietam was not really a victory for either side.

Welcome Center at Fort McHenry, Baltimore.

Cannon, like the one used in the War of 1812, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.

Birdseye view of Fort McHenry.
