We hit all of the hot spots of Palmyra, New York on Day 8. We began at the Hill Cumorah (I never realized it was so steep walking straight up!), then went to the Smith Family property. There we saw the replica of the log cabin that they lived in first, then their frame home, then finally the Sacred Grove. It was so peaceful to walk through the Sacred Grove. They are doing a great job restoring it to its original state. After that we went to the Grandin Print Shop where the Book of Mormon was printed. Then it was time to hit the road again. We headed southward towards Philadelphia to visit Dallin's parents. Along the way, we stopped briefly in Scranton (home of The Office). We searched for the sites from the opening credits, but couldn't find anything. Scranton is bigger than I thought!
Upon arriving at Brian and Lily's house, we needed some time to relax. Day 9 was spent relaxing - going to church, eating some yummy barbecue and getting home taught. It helped us recover after our week of nonstop traveling and prepared us for Day 10 - New York City!
