Buffalo, NY - Land of Wind and Wonder :)


Chad had not seen his Grandma Clemons since he was 8 years old (that is 17 years folks), so we decided to make a trip to Buffalo, NY to visit her.

While we were there we got some wonderful pictures and stories for our family history and visited Palmyra NY and Niagara Falls. Oh, and we also ate the famous Buffalo wings, Ted's hot dogs and Buffalo Roast Beef! What's a vacation without food??

Below are some pictures from our trip!


Due to the wind and wet ground, we could not go into the Sacred Grove, but we still were able to sit right next to it and ponder...


Sacred Grove to the right - beautiful scene - looks like it came out of a book!

Upstairs in the Smith Log Cabin - where Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith

The Smith Frame home - where the Golden Plates were hidden several times from mobs

Palmyra Temple

Chad in front of the temple (see top left corner)

Niagara Falls



We crossed the border into Canada because Chad wanted it to be an "international" vacation - Turns out you need 50 cents per person to return to the US - thanks goodness for coin machines!

I'm officially one of your blog's stalkers....hope you don't mind! :) Did I ever tell you of my obsession with wanting to visit Canada? Well, it's true. People think I'm crazy for saying that Canada is my #1 "if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go" destination. I'm totally jealous you were there! Even if it was for just a second.

I'm glad you guys had a good trip! Oh, and how cute is that picture of Chad kissing his grandma?!
