Vacation-Day 7

Today we visited the National Zoo. It was about 90 degrees today and actually felt really great because there was no humidity.

Vacation-Day 6

We are all exhausted and stayed home to rest, minus the little trip to the outlet mall.

Vacation-Day 5

Driving home from Palmyra we stopped at Watkins Glen State Park. It was a beautiful hike with lots of waterfalls and stairs.

Vacation-Day 4

Today we visited Palmyra and Fayette NY. We started the morning in the Sacred Grove where Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ. It was an awesome experience to be able to walk through he grove. Next we toured Joesph and Emma's Smith's house, the hill Cumorah and Visitor Center, Palmyra Museum, The Book Of Mormon Printing Shop(which was really cool), the Martin Harris Farm, the Peter Whitmer Farm(where the chruch was organized) and last, on the way back to the Hotel, we saw the M'clintock house in Waterloo where the Civil War ended. We wanted to end the day in the Sacred Grove at sunset, which turned out to be a really bad idea because we spent the entire time running from and fighting off the nasty bugs.

Vacation-Day 3

Today we spent 8 hours in the Car driving to Palmyra NY. On the way there we stopped in Harmony Pennsylvania near the Susquehanna river where the priesthood was restored and where much of the Book of Mormon was translated.

Vacation-Day 1

Giant Mall

Today was our first day in Washington D.C. I was very excited to have some Georgetown Cupcakes waiting for me when we arrived to the Apartment. We spent the day checking out our rental apartment, getting groceries and walking the huge mall across the street. In the evening we went to the D.C. United soccer game. We have never been to the East Coast before and didn't quite understand the pure misery of humidity until that night. The game was at 7:30pm and it was 95 degrees and 70% humidity outside, fun.

Emily's Birthday

Emily's Birthday started off with breakfast at Burger King, followed by a Picnic lunch at the Frandsen's house. Emily played volleyball for several hours and when she was done with that we went to the movie Monte Carlo. We ended the night with cake and Fireworks.
