My parents flew to Philadelphia to help Ayden and I drive one of our cars to Utah. Sean had to stay to finish out his residency so we left him alone for a month while we started our move across the country.
Since my parents have not seen most of the East coast we decided to make a little church history tour out of it and stop at some significant historical sites.
Needless to say we had an amazing trip!
Our first stop was in Kirtland Ohio and we were able to walk the grounds of the temple. Unfortunately you have to get set up with a tour to see the inside and they were closed at the time that we stopped.
It was still amazing to see this beautiful building, knowing the great sacrifices that went into building it and the glorious events that happened the day that it was dedicated. I could imagine the Angels on the roof and the temple glowing with a celestial light.
There was a small cemetery next to the temple where we found buried some of Joseph Smith's relatives and children.
This grave was not a relative of the Smiths but it was for a young girl and I thought the headstone was beautiful!
