Mega Update

New York was amazing!!  It was so much fun being with my whole family, including my grandparents, and Brady!  We did so many fun things!!  It was perfect.  It was pretty cold, but we were lucky to never get rain.  

This is us all on our first night eating at a local restaurant!  I got the biggest sandwich ever.  It was so fun!

These pictures are little out of order, but on our last day in the city we went to the Today show!  Guess who was there?!  Bon Jovi!!  We all got on TV!  My grandma stayed at the hotel to get ready, and she said she saw us multiple times for a while!!  Of course I was so excited.  Emily got to chat with Ann Curry for like 10 minutes!  She LOVED Emily and her style.  We were across the thing from her, so it was fun to watch them talk!

Here we are in Little Italy.  It's so fun because literally one block away is China town.  It's so crazy how it really feels like you are in Italy...or China...or Mexico.  My grandma said something funny after walking through all the little subcultures, he said "Mexico tries to sell you really cheap stuff, China's stuff is a little better, but still the same and Italy tries to sell you food!"  Haha!  I thought it was funny, because it was so true!!

This is on some pretty cool red stairs that light up at Times Square.  Everyone was just hanging out on them.  It gives a pretty sweet view!

We took a boat ride around the island and got the best view of the Statue of Liberty.  I really like this picture!

We ate at the coolest places!  This was just a tiny Italian place with really yummy pizza!  The picture doesn't really capture the ambiance.

Next we drove to Palmyra and definitely took the long way! :)  It was fun though.  We took the scenic route on accident, but it was gorgeous!!    Brady got this great picture of the Palmyra temple and the fall colors.  Did you know the temple is on the Smith's land?  It's pretty cool! The story is one big circle.

This is our family outside Joseph Smith's family home.  That is the actual fence that he and his brothers built!!  It was so sturdy.  The spirit was so strong on these grounds.  I couldn't help but cry most of the time.

This is at the visitor's center in Palmyra.  It was really pretty!

And last was Canada!  This is us at Niagra Falls.  It was definitely freezing!!!

Well, our trip was amazing.  Traveling with the Buckhannon's is the best!  I love my family.  More updates to come soon! :)
