It was rainy in when I took this! Brrr...
Izzy passed out in the truck
Palmyra, New York LDS Temple
We were driving down Temple Street headed towards the Sacred Grove site. Then all of-a-sudden there was a temple street...weird! So here it is! We also drove to the Hill Camorah. It wasn't very far at all. That means Joseph was didn't have to walk very far.

Joseph Smith's house from the back view. They had 6 boys, 2 girls all upstairs, and then Lucy and Joseph were downstairs with an addition to the house for baby Lucy. And we complain now days that 2400 square isn't big enough for a family of 4!!!
Jaycee in the Sacred Grove. She told us she liked it here.
This is the Smith's new house they moved into. It's a little bigger but still. We have it good now days. It was really cool to see where Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and where he hid the plates for mobs. It's also nice to put a place to all the stories.
This is Jaycee standing upstairs in the Smith home. This is where Joseph was visited by Angel Moroni. 6 boys shared 2 full beds! Wow!
We had a rough start with Izzy, but the plan was to go to Palmyra bright and early. We actually ended up there at 10 am. It was sooooo awesome!
mandee! Its so funny seeing all of these posts because we just did an almost identical road trip... only ending in bear, delaware, where we are living for the summer. Isn't all of the church history stuff so cool? I loved it. And Niagara was FREEZING the day we went. Anyway, I love that you have a blog. I hope you guys are adjusting well!
