Some of the highlights...
Our first stop was Palmyra, NY. It's a teeny town, with a very peaceful feeling.
The Sacred Grove in my mind...
The Sacred Grove in late October...good ole' Daylight Savings strikes again-it was only 5pm but seemed like 10pm. But even at dusk, the grove is so serene.
I sat in the Sacred Grove alone for a bit and through the dark and the trees, the Palmyra Temple just shone so bright-I love to see the temple!
Outside the Grandin Print Shop-where the first copies of The Book of Mormon were printed.
Inside the print shop with Nicole, Tabbi, and Carlie .
A copy of a period Bible along with a first edition Book of Mormon...the two most important books in the world side by side.
Our touring of the church history sites was quick, but worth it. I'm definitely going back in the summer...its just an amazing area.
OH, Canada here we come...we hopped back in the mini and left Palmyra for Niagara Falls, Canada! We got there after dark, so we grabbed some dinner and took a quick peek at the falls before crashing at our hotel.
The next morning we got up early and headed out to explore the falls...so beautiful!
Look at that mist...so cold!
We took a "Journey Behind the Falls" and went into some little tunnels behind the falls...so cool. The water is moving sooo fast...pretty amazing!
Aren't our yellow ponchos so fashionable?!?
The falls were beautiful...the rest of Canada was a eh. It reminded me of Las Vegas or Atlantic City-way too commercialized. That being said, it was still totally worth it...all 48 hours and 1000 miles.
