My travel bug was back, so Alex, Nicole, and I took off for Palmyra this past weekend. Nicole did amazingly well - the only time I got frustrated with her was when she wouldn't take a nap in the car ride home, and she was just smiling and happy. Guess I can't complain too much about that!
We headed up on Friday and made a stop in Scranton (aka home of The Office) for some lunch. Alex looked online for recommendations of places to eat, and the result was the Keystone Restaurant. It had the best small town diner feel, and we enjoyed our hamburgers and hot dogs texas style (basically chili without beans, onions, and mustard). It was delicious!
We stayed at the Palmyra White House within walking distance of the Sacred Grove and the Temple. We had a whole house to ourselves, and it was perfect for our little family (although it can accommodate up to 10 people)! We hit all of the Church History sites:
Palmyra was beautiful, especially with the fall foliage - although it was a little disappointing because all of the reports said it would be peak and a lot of the trees had already lost their leaves. It was a wonderful weekend and the perfect first family vacation!

Yay! What a fun first for your little girl!
i love Palmyra! Looks like you had a good time... :)
I'd love to take that trip! (ahh, someday) It looks like the weather was perfect!
That looks like so much fun! What a wonderful vacation! And of course Nicole did great...she is too cute! You can not tell me she's not as innocent as she looks!! One day we will make that vacation. You'll have to join us!
It looks beautiful. I would love to visit Palmayra sometime. Traveling with kids is so different, but it looks like it didn't slow you down at all! Good work!
Your pics bring back so many memories of Stake trips past! You are so lucky that your wee one likes to travel!
BTW-did you cut your hair? Or is old and I'm just now noticing? Should have gone with the A-line...
What a beautiful vacation you had. I want to do that sometime, too. It looks like you had a wonderful time.
