Palmyra, NY and Kirkland, Ohio

Standing on top of The Hill Cumorah, looking out on the field that holds the audience for the play.
On top where the monument sits.
The Palmyra Temple
Once again - taking a picture of ourselves together in front of the Temple
The Sacred Grove
Jared and I spent a few days this summer in Ohio and decided to drive to Kirkland and up to Palmyra, NY. Our first day we took off and drove up to Palmyra, NY and spent two days there enjoying the Ssacred Grove. WOW, what an experience that was to be there where Joseph Smith had seen the Father and the Son.
This is the Joseph Smith farm and Jared is standing in front of the house of Joseph Smith Sr. and Family.
This is downtown Palmyra, where we went to the Printing Press, saw the corner of the four churches and enjoyed a slice of pizza.
This was the Peter Witmer Farm, out in Fayette, NY., about 35 minutes from Palmyra. As we drove we enjoyed the beautiful land in upper NY. We listened to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, it became our theme song for the trip.
We are trying to take a picture of ourselves together for history sake. We are at Hilcumorah enjoying the quietness of the hill. We missed the pageant by one week, so everywhere we went we where almost the only people touring. Very nice and pleasant.

This was awesome. I can't wait to go there someday. What a great experience to be there with Jared and be able to really enjoy the peace and the Spirit there. I'm so glad you got to go!

When were you guys there? We went to New York the last week of June. We were in NYC for 4 days and in Palmyra for 2 days. Weren't the history sites fabulous? Looks like you had a good time. We did!
