We had a hotel room with 2 teeny twin beds and of course Mike and I got one and Vienna got the other. Why should the smallest person get the whole bed??? In the morning she was goofing around and got he covers all around her. What a goofy lady.
She had the whole trunk to herself for the trip, she loved it. JJ this is where we sat her while we were organizing for the ride home.
In front of the Smith's Frame Home that Alvin started building. it was so neat to be inside, and 85% of it was original. It was a huge upgrade from their first home.

Vienna and Daddy in the Sacred Grove
Trees in the Grove that may have witnessed that Spiritual Event. Its so neat how the sun shines through in different areas. Oh it was so profound.
E.B Grandins Printing Press in Downtown Palmyra, the place of the first Book of Mormon Printing. It was so neat inside and interesting. It took over 2 years to print and bind the first 5000 copies of the Book of Mormon. Amazing!
Mike and Vienna (on his back) in front of the Smith family's original Farm home. Inside this home was where Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith. It was so small for 11 people.

Mike and I in front of the Palmyra Temple after our session. It was beautiful and reminded us alot of the Tri-Cities Temple. Whats neat is that this temple is built on the original Farmland of the Smith's and from that area you can see the Sacred Grove because they keep an area in the trees cleared.
It's not everyday that we have the opportunity to be so close to the events that had to happen to bring the Gospel here on the earth again. I am so respectful of Joseph Smith and all his family went through to bring this Gospel to us. My life is completely a product of being a member of God's church and I can't imagine my life without the knowledge of this doctrine.
It was such a special trip.

Looks like you guys had a great trip. I hope one day I will be able to make it over there too.
What a fun trip! You guys look like you are having a lot of fun! Vienna is getting so big! We miss you!
It looks like you guys had an awesome time at the Sacred Grove. And little Vienna is a sweetheart. She is really growing. Hope all is well.
That is awesome that you guys went and did all of that. It definitely is a special and sacred place! Vienna is growing like Maxwell~
Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to your blog. It's fun to catch up and it seems like you are enjoying the area you now live in. How cool that your ward went to Palmyra! Lucky! Thanks for sharing your photos of such a special spot and for sharing your testimony.
You are so right. Such a rare occasion to see and be in a place where such miracles happened-miracles that have changed my life and many others.
V is sure getting big! It's fun to watch though, huh! Soon enough she will be toddling around and screaming MOM! at you!
I hope that you don't have much more car trouble and that Mike's car isn't a hassle while you are there.
Yeah, to finding just the right thing for storage space in your kitchen!
BYE for now!
