Josh and I took a trip this past week! Without our kids! Many thanks to both sets of grandparents for making it possible!!! We flew out Wednesday night on a red-eye. The flights were honestly the worst! Being pregnant just made it even more unbearable for me! Luckily, I have the best husband ever, and he let me keep my legs up on him for most of the flight. We arrived in Rochester Thursday at 11 ish. Tricia (Josh's older sister), picked us up from the airport and we headed to Niagra Falls! I had never been, so it was quite the experience! It was opening day for the Maid of the Mist, so we took a ride and got wet! It was so cold and windy, but well worth the adventure!

Next, was a brief stop at the Hill Cumorah. It was still cold and windy, but a neat experience.

Day 2: In Fayette, NY

A view of the Temple thru the trees of the Sacred Grove
Josh's attempt at a car picture - all of the pictures were pretty funny looking!
Josh loves lighthouses, so we had to make a stop for this one! It was beautiful there! Still a little windy, but at least the sun was out!

Day 3: At the Palmyra Temple: Josh and I walked over to the Temple in the morning and walked around. It was lovely! 
Lunch at the Muddy Waters - yummy food! We ate lunch outside in the sun! Of course, Josh's chair was in the shade.
Our lovely tour guide, Tricia
Our last stop of the trip was the Jell-O museum! We had so much fun! Thanks to Trish for being our personal tour guide and chauffeur! (Trish is the manager at the Palmyra Inn where we stayed.) We loved chatting and enjoying your company! We were glad that we took the trip when we did, and were able to see so many things! We missed our kids while we were gone, but they were spoiled and loved by their Grandmas and Grandpas! Thanks again!

I'm so glad your trip went well! Next Adventure: Having TWINS! ;)
What an awesome trip!!! I loved the pictures of you at the Falls...it reminded me of Bruce Almighty ;) You look great! Can't wait to meet your twins!
Those pictures made me miss New York. While we live in Syracuse, New York we were just an hour away from the Palmyra Temple. We enjoyed all the wonderful sites in the area. I'm happy to hear that you could go and enjoy some time together.
great pictures! I'm glad you had such a fun time and were able to go on a little adventure with Josh!
Great trip & great pictures...Thanks for sharing, Crystal.
Isn't that part of the country just awesome! You guys rock for taking the time to have some fun together before you are a family of 7! You look great, by the way.
