This is the Bennett Family at the Johnson Farm. The Johnson Farm is where Joseph was tarred and feathered. This room is where Joseph and Oliver had a vision. (D&C 76)
This is Ryan & I at the Kirtland Temple. It was beautiful. We loved going inside and looking around. We even went to the top floor/level. That was awesome.
This is the stone quarry from where the stone was cut to build the Kirtland Temple.
We went to the Susquehanna River where the Aaronic Priesthood was restored and Joseph Smith was baptized. It was cold there too! I sang "Be Still My Soul" with two really talented singers. It was really great!
We drove by Elmyra College and saw this gazebo. This gazebo is where Mark Twain wrote his books like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His wife had it built because he was such a smoker. There were many times people thought his gazebo was on fire because smoke would be billowing out the chimney and windows. It wasn't a fire, just his cigar smoke. Gross!
This is Hill Cumorah. It was really steep! It doesn't look like it from the picture, but I assure you it was.
This is at the Palmyra Temple. It was still cold but absolutely beautiful. See how perfect the sky is?
We went to the Sacred Grove and it was extremely chilly for an "early spring morning", but it was so wonderful being in that special place. I really loved being there.
I have so many pictures that I could share. They would make this post unrealistically long. However, we loved our experience and what a testimony builder it was. We had a great time!!

Neat pics and neat trip! So fun to see & read about! Love the baby quilt! :-)
We went to Kirtland for Spring Break last month. It was awesome. Check out our blog for pics. I love your trip though, we want to do all of that while we're out here. New York is definitely on our list, and Niagra Falls! Good luck with the last month or so of pregnancy, unfortunately not the greatest, but I'm excited to pics of your little darling when you have her.
