What is it about camping? A day's work to pack, a few days to unpack and de-grime, all for one poor night's sleep, but it's totally worth it! Love it.Over the 4th of July weekend we took a short trip up to Niagara and Palmyra. We stopped first in Scranton and went to the Lackawanna County Coal Mine. Ah, small-town Pennsylvania. I'm not really sure why we did it. A tribute to The Office? Absolute *rave* reviews from Tripadvisor? I'll leave it by saying it was memorable, and I guess it was fun for the boys...
Next we stopped in Heaven on Earth aka Skaneateles, NY. I want to live there! I have never seen water this clear outside of the Uintas. The town was as quaint as it gets, to boot.
Next stop Palmyra and the sacred grove. This is what a 4 year old thinks of the sacred grove.
Poor kid! He was so tired, and this is seriously what he looked like whole time, minus the tantrum. ... "What are you *doing* to me, mom and dad?!" Jeremy and I enjoyed it though. Sunday morning, a truly lovely one.
Did anyone else not know that the Palmyra temple is built in view of the Smith farm? I teared up when I saw where it's located.
We tried taking pictures of the boys. Emphasis on "tried"
Next: Niagara! Wahoo! I haven't been for 15 or so years, and it was every bit as cool as it was as a kid. 
Move over Loch Ness... Niagara has monsters now

The view from the boat
James wasn't terribly happy about the whole situation
But the rest of us were! Fantastic place.
