Palmyra Trip

We decided to do a quick trip to Palmyra, Ny to celebrate Beau getting through yet another finals week. I had initially taken the days off so that we could maybe move but we never did find anything... perhaps we should just accept that we will be in this tiny box for 2 more years :)
We would like to maybe visit NY city, Washington D.C., and Chicago while we are living in the midwest but for now we went where our budget could afford... its nice to do outdoor stuff as well as church historical sites because its fun and free! It was a good time to come too, because the weather was beautiful and it was only 2 days prior to when Joseph Smith himself had been led to this very hill 186 years ago.

Isn't is beautiful?

Beau was happy to catch a break after little sleep and a long drive... Tatum, however, was wiiiiide awake! :) She loved walking around- she had a smile on her face the whole time...I wonder if she knew she was somewhere special.

There is nothing better than a break after finals. Your trip looks beautiful and fun. I love Tatum's smile.

I would love to go to all of those historical sites! Great to take advantage of it when you are living so close! I can't wait to see all of it! So fun!
