After Boston, we made our way back to PA (where Tanner & Allie live) stopping in Palmyra on our way. To say it was cold would be nice...I was freezing! I'm not sure if it's the fact that I am used to the AZ sunny weather or what, but I froze almost the entire time we were in Palmyra. We drove into Palmyra in the afternoon, and stopped at the Smith's farm, which was also where the Sacred Grove is (more about our church here). Following the Smith's farm, we made our way to the Hill Cumorah. We walked up the hill and watched a short film in the visitors center. It was an incredible feeling being in the same place where Joseph Smith received visions from heavenly beings, as well as the place where he received the plates. I hope we are able to visit again soon...hopefully next time will be in the summer or fall though ;)

15-17. Dinosaur BBQ. This place is in downtown Rochester, and was the perfect meal for the long day we had. If you live near this area, and haven't been here, GO. Everything was to die for!
