New York New York

Carson and Taylor at camp

Jolanda's been after me to update our blog since our return from New York and our visit with Taylor and Kaycee so I better do it I guess.

We flew in on August 30th and the next day we drove up to Palmyra passing through Scranton, PA home of The Office. I strained as hard as I could but I couldn't see Steve Carrall anywhere.

We were able to tour the Visitors center at Cumorah as well as visit the Joseph Smith home and the Sacred Grove. Interestingly, there isn't a designated area in the grove where the first vision took pace. It's a large wood with several paths leading through it.

The grove was really quiet and peaceful

I liked this shot of Kaycee and Carson with the sun streaming through

Another fun shot

New York City is enormous. The things I most wanted to do were to go to a Yankees game, visit the Apple store and see Times Square at night. Mission accomplished.

Can you tell which one is Derek Jeter?

The signs in Times Square are something to behold

Times Square was worth the visit

We miss you guys already. Carson is having a hard time without Grandma and the extra attention. Thanks for visiting.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I am jealous that Rob and I couldn't be there too!
