We spent last week with Roo's brother and family in New York. It was probably one of the best trips we have ever been on!
Spencer & Kristin's House - Fairport NY. Roo and Knox with his wooden dagger.
The Peter Whitmer Farm - Fayette, NY.
A pretty graveyard overlooking Lake Seneca.
Watkins Glen - J.R.R Tolkien, eat your heart out!
We drove 4 hours to Kirtland. I love walking through graveyards, so we found ourselves in yet another here in Kirtland.
The Whitney store where Joseph Smith lived and worked. And where the senior couple missionaries treated us like their own children.
Corbett Glen - a lovely little walk we went on with Knox, Kristin, and Mary after going to the farmer's market.
The Sacred Grove.
Joseph Smith's cabin.
The Palmyra Temple.
The exact spot where we ran into Elder Bednar. He was very nice.
The Grandin Press in downtown Palmyra.
Me on top of a bench on top of the Hill Cumorah.
On the Maid of the Mist - the boat ride below Niagara Falls.
Feeling the love above Niagara Falls.There was never a more picturesque Autumn! We ate homemade donuts and cider, went to the pumpkin patch, drove on beautiful country roads, and played never-ending rounds of Phase 10. Thanks Spencer & Kristin!

Wow so beautiful!! I love the picture of Watkins Glen is wonderful, so beautiful!
Ohhh my loveliness. Your loveliness. New York's loveliness.
Sam has a cousin in Palmyra, so I'm trying to convince him to visit. But for him, having a cousin there is more of a reason to avoid the town rather than go ...
Pretty and Graveyard sounds like an oxy moron. Come visit us again, but this time make sure we are here.
I'm so jealous! What a fabulous trip! I would absolutely love to visit all those places! I'm glad you had so much fun!
I'm so jealous, it's unrighteous!
Great post! NY is beautiful during this time of year. Spencer and Kristen are always great hosts. I visited them last Christmas, and we had a blast! But, the weather was definitely a notch or two lower on the thermometer. :)
We are so glad that you had the opportunity to visit these beautiful and meaningful places and to visit Spencer's family. Thanks for being courageous and living life!
Thanks for coming guys! We sure had a blast with you. Can't wait to see you at Christmas.
You should have headed east to good old Connecticut to visit your favorite cousin! Sounds like you had a blast. I admit we have never seen the sites in upstate New York. But you have convinced me!
I didn't even know you went to New York. You two are always going on such fun adventures. It looked like a fabulous trip. PS. Annie, we need to get together with Sarah and do dinner sometime.
