Palmyra, NY

Sam and I drove up from Baltimore to Palmyra on Friday.  We had a beautiful drive.  We stopped at a small fruit stand on the way and bought Honey Crisp apples to snack on.  The fruit stand was put together beautifully.  They were also selling grapes and pumpkins as well as other Fall vegetables.  They had grape pie filling.  I had never heard of that and now I want to try to make one.  What a fun thing to do.  The Fall colors are so beautiful right now.  It's something I've always dreamed of seeing, but had never been able to.
 We came across a small and by small I mean "bunny-hill" type skiing resort.  I had to laugh because here this is a mountain here but to us that live in the mountains it is just a hill.

We drove on up to Palmyra where we visited each of the Church History sites.  Sam and I both loved the printing company tour the most.  We both learned so much about the printing of the Book of Mormon.  It was amazing how the Lord placed people where they needed to be so that it was able to be published.

On our way we saw several beautiful homes, so of course I had to take pictures.

This first home was in Palmyra, NY.  It sat back from the road and had a great front yard.
This second home was in Geneva, NY.  I had to laugh, there was a person standing on the front porch watching us take the picture.  I'm sure they thought I was nuts, but it was such a beautiful home.

This home was a Bed and Breakfast in the little town of Canadigua, NY.  We stayed our las tnight in NY close to this one.
This home was on the Martin Harris Farm.  It isn't the original home as that one burned down, but this was rebuilt and now the missionaries live in it.  It is made out of lake rock placed in rows.


I loved our trip to NY.  It was a dream come true and I am grateful that we were able to make it.  It is something that I will never forget!
