We went to Berkeley Springs for an overnight to celebrate our anniversary. It was a very relaxing trip! After we arrived in the town, we ate dinner at Panorama at the Peak, which had views like this:
We stayed at a B&B that was attached to a restaurant. It was right on the "main street", but since it's a pretty small town, it wasn't too crowded or noisy!
On Saturday morning we went to the State Park which was down the street from the B&B. I think it might be the smallest state park ever - only 4.5 acres :) Basically, it's a state park to protect the natural springs for which Berkeley Springs is famous.
The water is at a never-changing 74.5 degrees, so on Saturday morning when it was in the high 40s, it felt pretty warm!
George Washington visited often to enjoy the benefits of the mineral waters...
Behind me is the Museum of Berkeley Springs which has exhibits on the water, geology, the strange history of fires within the town, and some other town history.
I took this picture for my brother-in-law....This chart compares the chemicals found in the spring water vs. 'regular' water:
This is probably the building most people would recognize - it's the Country Inn and has a restaurant and a spa.
We had a great time and enjoyed going to the little shops around town. On our way back, we had one stop:
I don't know if Chloe even knew we were gone! She had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa B. and Aunt Michelle! :)
