The first of our summer adventures

So this summer has been crazy and looking back on it we have done so much and experienced so many new things. I wanted to recap on all of the big things we did this summer since I didn't post them on here.
The first major thing we did this summer was take a trip back east. We flew into Buffalo New York, then drove to Kirtland, OH and saw the temple there and the visitors center, we drove into Cleveland, OH looking for a grocery store. Who know that kirtland was so close to Cleveland!

Next we drove to Rochester, NY where we stayed while we visited Palmyra, NY and the Joseph Smith Farm and the Sacred Grove, we got to see Paul's Mission President and his wife who are the directors over the Palmyra sites, we also ran into a friend of mine from high school who was serving her mission out there. It was the first day of her transfer there, how lucky! (me and Paul at the Joseph Smith farm with the Palmyra Temple in the backround)

The next day we drove back to Buffalo, NY and then we went to Niagara Falls and got to ride the maid of the mist and walk around the beautiful park! (us in right before the maid of the Mist)
The Next day we flew from Buffalo, NY into New York City. It was such a shock to go from sweet peaceful Palmyra and Niagara Falls to the hussle and bussel of New York City. With the help of a very nice subway driver who obviously sinced we were lost and stuck his head out of the subway to ask where we wanted to go, we made our way to the heart of the city and then got lost trying to find our hotel, we finally found it and then went and waited in line for tickets to a Broadway play, we saw Phantom of the Opera that night.
The next day we met up with Paul's sister and Bro in law and they showed us all around NY, they took us to a place with friets (Belgian frys), which I still crave by the way, (they put a gravy on homemade fry's with cheese that melts on them, yum!) That is where we learned that nearly nowhere in NY city takes debit or cedit cards! That was a little embarassing. We went to central park, the manhattan temple, Ground zero, a delicious hamburger place, the brooklyn bridge, Grimaldi's (the yummiest brickoven pizza!) we then went to get frozen yogurt and then we left NY at like 1 in the morning to drive to Boston.
