Fun visit with Aunt Jenny

We were very lucky to host Jon's sister, Jenny, for a week. We drove to Palmyra where we camped, visited the Hill Cumorah, the Smith Family Home, the Sacred Grove, the Book of Mormon publication site, saw the Hill Cumorah Pageant, and visited Niagara Falls on the way home. Driving through Canada is the quickest way to get to parts of New York from Detroit. We enjoyed the unique treats at the Canadian gas stations. Why can't we have "KitKat Senses" and "Wunderbar"? We had lots of fun and miss Jenny already.More info about where we went here.
