Another Adventure to BOSTON

Our weekends have become quite busy. That is the time that we go on our mini vacations to see the sights. We decided to head to Boston, and here we defiantly didn't have enough time to see everything that we wanted to. The time went way to quick....We needed at least a week here, just trying to see. We tried to fit many things in, as much as we could.
The first thing that we did in Boston, was we took a fast boat ride from Boston Harbor to the Atlantic Ocean and went whale watching. I have never done that and thought it would be really fun.
And YES!!! We were able to see some whales. After the fast boat ride we were all freezing and got some jackets to keep warm. We didn't come very prepared. This was a really fun Adventure, we were able to see Plymouth and see how the early settlers came from Holland. We saw the Mayflower II, and Plymouth point. Preston and Dallin had a lot of fun visiting Plymouth Plantation. We tried to have a very educational fun experience. We also visited Cape Cod, we went on an old steam engine, and visited SANDWHICH MA, we got to see them make some glass. Preston volunteered to help them blow glass and he got a souvenir for helping. A lady was very impressed with his fascination with the glass museum that she interviewed him for the paper. We he kept pulling Emili and I at various places to come and look at this, it was pretty cool to see the things they could make with glass.
What a wonderful time.

Another Adventure

We were able to visit many wonderful places...
This is on our way to Niagra Falls, we stopped at Lake Ontario, and stopped at the State Park. I loved this area, it is open and very green and beautiful. This is the part that would complete my New York Trip.
Niagra Falls
This was really nice, on Sunday we spent the day looking at the Palmyra temple, visiting the Sacred Grove, and the Joseph Smith house. It was really nice, we went to the visitors center of the Hill Commorah and the printing of the Book of Mormon. Dallin and Preston had fun looking at the various things. There was a Hurricane Irene that hit the coast and we were smart and headed NORTH to upstate NEW YORK. The church was so fun in Palmyra, the boys loved it there. It was nice to go and visit and not have any responsibility.
We had a wonderful time in up state NEW YORK. I am ready to move here. I guess that I "FREAKED" to many people out by suggesting that would be a fun thing to do. Mom was nervous, Emili was scared, and for now by default we decided now was not the time. It sure was nice.
