Niagara Falls, Palmyra and Kirtland

In September John and I went to Niagara falls for the first time.We stayed on the Canadian side -- it was such a nice weekend. We also headed to Palmyra NY to visit the Sacred Grove and then randomly hit Kirtland, Ohio on the way back.  It was a great trip!

We got soaked on the Maid of the Mist! I couldn't stop thinking about Jim and Pam's wedding on the Office -- which is a little silly since it is just a tv show! But that is life I guess...

Niagra falls is well... kind of tacky besides the falls. A lot of Ripley's Believe It or Not and the like. So heading to Palmyra, and then Kirtland we found some much needed peace and quiet.

Kirtland Temple

We also saw the Palmyra temple on our trip -- we are trying to see all of the temples in the world (perhaps I have mentioned this before?) We had such a nice time on this trip. It was the perfect balance of fun, spiritual, serene and relaxing. I love fun travel weekends with John-David.

The Best Pumpkin Bars

I made these a few weeks ago... these are hands down one of the best bar recipes I have used. I have been craving pumpkin and chocolate left and right this fall, and this definitely hit the spot!
