The Trip, part 1

Mike took Jen and I to the airport in the wee hours of the morning on Easter Sunday. We flew through Detroit to Rochester, then drove into Palmyra, where we got to stay for a couple of days. We were able to see almost all the cool historic church sites there, as well as take a day trip to Niagra Falls!

Monday morning, we headed up to the American side of the falls. They were incredible! (An interesting note: the area under the falls was still packed with snow and ice chunks!) That evening, we returned to Palmyra and toured the Grandin Press, where the Book of Mormon was first published. We also went to the Hill Cumorah, where the plates were buried.

Tuesday morning, we spent time looking around the Palmyra Temple, the Joseph Smith Farm, and all the sites and buildings there.

My favorite spot was the Sacred Grove. Jen liked the Printing Press.

We are now at the airport waiting for our flights to Maine. We can't wait to get there!
