Todd's speaking assignment for High Council today was in North Adams MA. The branch is about 2.5 hours from our house and they meet in a section of the Holiday Inn. It was crazy small~about 47 people total including us!
After church a family wanted to take us to see Brigham Young's birthplace in Vermont, which is on their way home from church.
This is the plaque in front of a house(I don't think it was Brigham Young's house).
This is a sign which would make me think I was in Utah, not Vermont.
This is another plaque about Brigham Young
This is the view on a cloudy day from the plaque above.
This bridge was unlike one we have really seen before. There is a stop light on each side because only one car can fit on the bridge. It really was awesome!We had a very long day, Todd had stake meetings after church, which he was late for, because we were told these stops were on the way. We dropped Todd off at his meetings and made it home by about 4:30. Fortunately all the kids fell asleep in the car, they were up at 6:30 to get ready and leave.
It does make me grateful for things such as a church building!
1. new experiences
2. meeting new people

VERY COOL!!!
The birthplace, the bridge, meeting in a HOTEL!
Sounds like a neat day....we missed you guys, church isn't the same without you.
I LOVE Sunday adventures. Glad you got to see this place--I've been to that monument twice; It's really off the beaten path. The thing that cracks me up about it, is it's out in left field (of a ballfield). Funny. I took my hub there before we were married and before he joined the church, and he told me that a randomly placed marker out in left field didn't seem to indicate high status...(that bigger stone wasn't there at that time)
I've been there too! It's very cool that a few of our prophets were born in good old New England!
fun- we missed you- I couldn't travel this month n had his first talk
What a nice way to spend the day together. Seeing new sights, meeting new people and breaking up the monotony of LONG Sundays while the hubby is gone. Glad that you all had such a nice day!
We missed you too. I thought maybe you were on vacation or something, but that wouldn't really make sense seeing school isn't out. But, that trip seems like a vacation- wow that's a long drive. I didn't realize how far away that branch was!
Well at least you got to see something cool during your LONG traveling Sunday!
