Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken 9 years ago today, on October 4, 2014.

We were on the Shenandoah River next to Harper's Ferry following a day of vigorous hiking and eating a giant pork chop at Dish, a Charles Town farm-to-table restaurant that existed before every restaurant tried to do the same thing (sadly, it is now out of business). After taking this picture, we walked into Harpers Ferry for ice cream at scoops.

I took over 30,000 steps on this day, according to my defunct FitBit account. I lost my brand new FitBit within 10 minutes of taking this picture, just 19 days after having received it for my birthday. I interpreted this as a sign that my path in life should not involve any sort of fitness or physical improvement.
