"There's no place like home"

I couldn't find my ruby red slippers so this is how we got home from our memorable summer in Connecticut...

The Sacred Grove, Palmyra, New York

"...I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me." (Joseph Smith-History 1:16)


The Hill Cumorah, Palmyra, New York


Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada


Kirtland, Ohio


This is the room and the actual table that Joseph Smith transcribed the Golden Plates into what is known today as the Book of Mormon.


The Kirtland Temple


We're going swimming at our last hotel - Cheyenne, Wyoming. We're almost home!


So our journey home was incredible and we were so grateful for the time we had as a family. As we visited each of the LDS church history sites, we found our testimonies renewed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it was restored. We loved every minute of it!
