The awesome place we stayed in Ottawa didn't have the last day free, so we had to book one night in Kingston. Kingston is not a place we would have ever visited but I am SO GLAD we did. It was such a beautiful place! I would love love love to visit there again with more time and a boat to play with!
The night we stayed there we had supper at a really yummy seafood place. It was so busy the only table we were able to get was near the bar and was one of those super tall ones. Poor Arlie was in a highchair like 3 feet down from us lol but she did awesome.
Then we had gelatto- yum!!
So the next morning Mark was anxious to get on the road. He admitted later that he was starting to feel homesick and thought the sooner we move along the sooner we get to go home :(. I was not having that lol. I wanted to take the scenic route which meant 3 ferries. So we headed over to the ferry dock and just missed it which means we had to wait 4 minutes until the next one. Lucky for us there was this adorable little farmers market right in the middle of the town sqare where we were able to walk around a buy some super yummy snacks. Chocolate covered cinnamon buns, are you kidding me!? So good!!
So we got on the ferrier for free for whatever reason, it was a big one I would say 60-80 cars, It took us across to Wolfe Island. I swear the only people that live there are fisherman or farmers but the place is wicked cool!. We docked there are started driving across the island to catch the second ferry. It was such a beautiful place, the grass was GREEN.
So we are driving along, the pavement turned to gravel and it really felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Until we pull up to this boat dock that has the "ferry" attached. It was a ONE CAR FERRY! The platform to get onto the boat was flodded with about a foot of water. The two guys running the boat had to stand on the ramp so we could drive down lolololol.
So we pull on, hand the guy a $20 and on we go.
So as we get closer to the US side we get to be wondering where the boarder crossing will be. This was it!! A couple guys came out of that white house into that little shack. So funny.
We made it to Palmyra! This is up at the top of Hil Cumorah.
At the sacred grove- It was an amazing place although lets be real, it's more difficult to enjoy it with a little one squaking and boobing the whole time.
Caught this cute pic right before she fell off the stump.
Marks favorite art piece!
The Book of Mormon publication site. Super neat!
Hill Cumorah visitors centre. It was so great!! They had a couple theatres with every church movie ever made- something like 258!! We went there Sunday after church and watched the 3 new additions to meet the mormons. There was even one with a horse trainer which of course I loved!
Marks souvenier from Palmyra lololololol don't judge us!
