Decide that I want to go see the Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra, NY.
Monday
Find a friend to go with me and book a hotel room.
Tuesday
Leave super early 7:30 am (okay I know it's not super early and we actually didn't leave until 8:00 am.)
Drive for 6 hours. (Yes, there were stops including one in Syracuse. I have decidedthat I do not like that city and I hope that I will never have to stop there again. I do not have good experiences there.)
Arrive at Fingerlakes Inn. (Better than the hotel in Niagara and doesn't smell like urine, but flip flops will still be needed as I will not touch the carpet with my bare feet.)
Attend 4:30 session at Palmyra temple. (Cannot be late as I had to reserve a spot.)
Park and find a place to sit at pageant. Got great seats, but note to self: do not get there early. You meet way to many cast members and I feel bad for refusing the referral cards. However; the people watching was awesome. (How do you spot a Mormon? They are wearing capri's! Including yours truly.)
Watch a fun production, get out of the parking lot ASAP. Stop a nearest gas station to fill up on hot chocolate. (I sure could have used my snuggie. It was way cold!)
Go to bed.
Today
Check out of Fingerlakes Inn. Find breakfast at gas station.
Take a long walk through the Sacrad Grove. Realized it was even better the 2nd time around.
Drive through the Main Street of Palmyra.
Drive up to see the monument at Hill Cumorah. Help old grandma not fall down the hill.
Get back on the road and head home.
Yep, that makes this trip less than 24 hours. I had so much fun and am looking forward to my next adventure, whatever that may be.

I love quick trips! Glad you got one. Also, I know I have met your friend somewhere. She looks so familiar and I just can't put my finger on it......
That looks so fun! My family use do pageant and be in the cast when I was younger. I haven't been to palmyra forever. How fun!
