On Saturday, we did a combination of Rochester sites, and then out to Palmyra again for the pageant. It was beautiful weather this day, so we loved just wandering around.
First we headed up to Lake Ontario to check out the Charlotte-Genessee lighthouse. I have always wanted to see the Great Lakes, and who can pass up a lighthouse?
Dan with Lake Ontario in the background. We got to hike to the top of it and take a look around. Kind of a freaky climb, but beautiful views.
While we were at the top we found a beach park a couple of miles away, so we drove over to check it out.
There was a cool boardwalk running along the beach. We had a nice stroll. They had a beach volleyball tournament going on one end of the beach and a wrestling tournament at the other end.
The water looked amazing, unfortunately there was a gross smell at one end that kind of ruined the mood.
After leaving the beach we went to the Martin Harris home and the Palmyra temple.
The stained glass windows were amazing. I remember seeing them when the temple was dedicated, but cool to see them up close.
Pretty cool front doors. After walking around, we headed back to the Sacred Grove to experience it is nice weather.
The nice thing is that you can wander the paths around the grove to your heart’s content. It was beautiful. Oh, and surprisingly not very crowded. Granted we got there late in the day, so that may be why. It was Beautiful.
The pageant was much better the 2nd time around. Dan had fun trying to take pictures throughout the pageant. Some actually turned out okay.
Best thing about this night was stopping off at Wal-Mart to pick up some food for Sunday, and finding Joseph Smith Log Home T-shirts for 1/2 the price they were in Palmyra.
