Palmyra: Rest for the weary

after all our worldly travels, and jenns new found affinity for Amish rum, it was time for the sacred groves

which was really cool.

we saw the replica log cabin Joseph Smith lived in, they were apparently very short back then

upstairs were two bedrooms, one for the 6 boys, a smaller one for the 3 girls, i think
then they moved into this wood framed mansion (relatively), which was full of creature comforts, like a sink that drains and a "bread maker"

my favorite was the Cooper House, where they made barrels and baskets they sold to the maple syrup farmers next door that's a pretty sweet garage
and then down the street to the Hill Cumorah, jenn posing with Moroni
me doing my Moroni pose

we went to the Palmyra ward, which was about 80% visitors, we were all walking around bumping into walls, asking each other where sunday school was and no one knowing, at one point we were all following this guy down the hall, he looked like he knew where he was going, and he led us all into the bathroom. it was akward.

we were trying to decide what would place we visited would be everyone's favorite, and we decided that most people reading this blog would probably like Palmyra most, followed by the Amish, except for Van and Roxxi, who would probably like the Segways most...

see, we'd like to take a ghost tour through New Orleans on a segway that's towing your car, while eating a lobster, ruhbarb pie, hershey kisses and drinking amish rum, listening to REM and wearing our 'Give Me Wrong Directions,I'm a Tourist' stickers on our t-shirts sporting a picture of the Angel Moroni on them.
