Fall Fun

One of the best things about living in Ohio is that it is close to so many fun places! This past weekend we took a road trip to New York. We have been planning this trip for quite awhile and did our best to time it around when the leaves would be in their peak of changing colors. You can be the judge by looking at the pictures, but I think we did pretty well. Our first stop was Palmyra, New York. While we were there we did the "must see's" which include: the Smith's log home and frame home, Sacred Grove, Palmyra Temple, and Hill Cumorah. The Sacred Grove was so beautiful and peaceful (you could even hear the leaves falling from the trees.) Marc and I have been to these sites before with our familes but we both enjoyed being able to go together.

While you are in the temple you can look out the window and see the Sacred Grove. Beautiful!

After spending time at the Smith family homes and the Sacred Grove, we made the long two mile trek over to the Hill Cumorah. Last time I was here the pagent was going on so the hill looked a lot different this time. I hope we get a chance to go to the pagent while we are out here for dental school. It is amazing.

On the way home from Palmrya, we decided to take another way home for new scenary and so we did not have to pay for the toll rodes. Marc did some great research and discoverd Letchworth State Park also known as "The Grand Canyon of the East."

We loved getting out of the car and looking at ALL of the look out points.

The falls at the park were incredible. Who needs to drive to Niagara Falls when you have these ones?

We had a great weekend and plan to make this trip a tradition!!
