We started early at the Palmyra Temple doing baptism. They had a crowd for that little temple, but it worked out well. We teamed up with a family from Spanish Fork, UT to do their family names. That worked out well for them and for us.
We then went for a walk in the Sacred Grove. It had rained while we were in the temple and everything was wet and fresh. It was very pleasant and peaceful - except for the plentiful mosquitoes! From there, we stopped at the Hill Comorah. We drove to the top and talked about the plates that were retrieved there and what happened with them.
Then it was back to the hotel to pack and head to NYC! We made it to the City in good time and were glad we weren't leaving the city for the long weekend as all of the roads were packed going out. We found our hotel in Queens, unloaded, changed into our dresses and ties and headed for the Manhattan Temple on the subway.
They were expecting us and we were the last family of the day. We had another good experience and enjoyed being last. We went from there to Times Square at 8pm. That was a stark contrast! There were people, noise, lights, smells, sounds everywhere. We found an Italian restaurant behind the Hard Rock Cafe, and enjoyed great pizza. We then went to the center of Times Square to take some pictures, however, we spent more time having people take our pictures than we did taking the pictures we wanted to take.
Another ride on the subway and we were back at the hotel. It took a little while to get settled, but we are now really ready for sleep.
I don't have the driving numbers today - I'll edit them in later, but it was about 340 miles today
