Palmyra TripLast weekend Jason, Ryan, Mom, Dad, Emily, David, and I drove up to Palmyra. Katie, Jason's sister, and Jameson were being sealed in the Temple.
We left Friday morning and took our time driving the 300miles through PA, to NY. We got there about 5pm and checked into our hotel, that was really more of a motel. It was clean enough. We then went out to dinner, followed by some time in the pool. Jason and I left Ryan with Grandma and Grandpa and went to see Pirates of the Carribean. Jason loved it. I am still waiting for the ending. How can they leave me hanging like that?
Saturday morning we set out for the temple. It is one of the small temples, but still has the same peaceful spirit. The sealing was beautiful. Katie and Jameson both looked so happy. When we left the sealing room we walked out to see baptisms being performed. It was just incredible. I think I like the tiny temples more because everything is just right there in front of you.
That afternoon we walked through the Sacred Grove and saw some of the historical church sites, like the Hill Cumorah. It was really neat to be there where it all started.
We headed home that night and after some mishaps (like the directions being thrown away, getting on the wrong road, and turning around at least 6 times) we made it home, safe and sound.
