It's been a few weeks since I last posted. Life has been crazy, and I feel like I missed half of September. Part of that was due to a trip I took this last week to the Northeastern US and Canada. Six days, 1,300 miles, and much to see.
Palmyra
Our first stop was Palmyra, New York. This is where the LDS Church first began, and I was thrilled to finally be able to see the historical sites there. It was such a great experience to walk in the footsteps of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and to see where great Spiritual events occurred.

Here I am at the entrance to "The Sacred Grove", where Joseph Smith had his First Vision of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
The Hill Cumorah, where Joseph met and was instructed by the Angel Moroni, prior to receiving the Gold Plates
The log home and farm where the Smith family lived at the time of the First Vision and initial instructions from Moroni.
Frame home where the Smith family was living at the time Joseph received the plates from Moroni.
E.B. Grandin's Print Shop, where the record translated from the Gold Plates was first printed, and became The Book of Mormon.
Several years ago, the Church built a temple in the area. And you know how I love to get photo ops in front of Temples.
Palmyra is an absolutely beautiful and happy little town, and the Spirit is strong there. I suppose after all the sacred events that occurred there, it couldn't help but be strong.
