Upstate New York

We hit the road last Friday for a short road trip through Pennsylvania and Upstate New York. We saw all of the historic church sites in that area. We also saw the Hill Cumorah Pageant, New York's original Book of Mormon musical! And the best part was that we got to spend the weekend with my brother and his family. Palmyra was a perfect meeting point between D.C. and Burlington.

No trip up north is complete without a stop at Tim Hortons for some timbits! We became fans when we discovered Tim's during our honeymoon in Nova Scotia.

This store even had a bird's nest in the sign:



Amelia and Elsa had fun running around with James during the weekend.
