NY Road Trip Part 1: Palmyra

We left New York on Thursday night and stayed in a little hotel 2 hours into the drive (to break it up and have a pizza/pool party for June). Friday morning we went to Fayette and Palmyra to enjoy the sites:

June LOVES taking care of Anson


Activities at the great visitors center there

With Nana (Curt's mom). June loves cracking silly faces for photos. 

Nana bought June a mini Cinderella tea set on our trip. June looked forward to a tea party every night of our trip. She poured, served cookies, etc. By the end she learned to be quite the polite host. 

Nana babysat so Curt and I could enjoy attending the Palmyra temple. It is very small and very beautiful. I particularly liked the stained glass windows. 

Afternoon nap. All 5 of us napped after June fell asleep
