My parents came to visit and we all squished into our car and drove up to Palmyra, NY. We stayed at a campground just outside of Palmyra. It was lovely to drive through upstate New York and see the pretty scenery.
The Sacred Grove was such a special place. It was kind of surreal to actually be there, and it was humbling to think of what happened there. You could feel the Spirit right when you walked in, and it was neat to teach Matthew all about Joseph Smith's vision.
We also saw the Smith home and the beautiful Hill Cumorah.
We toured the print shop where the Book of Mormon was published, and visited the Palmyra Temple. The temple was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. You can see the Sacred Grove through one of the windows.
On one of the days we took a quick trip up to Niagara Falls. We rode the Maid of the Mist boat to the bottom of the falls and it was incredible to see and hear the power of the water. We got soaked! The falls were beautiful and it was so cool to see them in person.
I'm so glad we made this trip and that my parents could come along! It was wonderful to get out of the city and see such beautiful places.

So cool! You have been able to see such neat things while you are there. The Sacred Grove and Niagra Falls are definitely on my list of "to-see's."
