And more.....


Niagara Falls
it was so breathtaking, we had such a great time here.


Here we are in our plastic ponchos! You actually get really wet!



The Canadians light up the falls at night pretty cool eh?


So Rusty and I like to look for funny signs whenever we go on trips, we like these ones because the stick people are funny. hehe

Traveling with Rusty

3 Fears

Sharks! (I think just about everyone knows this one)
The Dark- I know this is silly but I am, especially when we are in the middle of nowhere I get creeped out! I'm a city girl what can I say (Tracy understands me on this one)
Losing some part of my body- eyesight, legs, arms etc...

3 Obsessions

Having short nails- I can't stand having long nails it drives me crazy
Shopping- no explanation needed
Kids, babies, children: they are so cute and say the funniest things!
Chocolate covered Gummie Bears
Sleeping
(the list could go on!)


3 Suprising Facts: (I don't know if these are very suprising)

I hate crowds- I love going to Disneyland but it puts me in a bad mood if there are too many people there. I like my space
I get really nervous when more than 3 people are looking at me: my face gets red, I sweat profusley(sp?) and I sometimes my body stops functioning. Silly I know but I am working on it 
I sucked on a dead lizard when I was a kid-  I don't know how to explain this one
Oh and I secretly want to be a cake decorator

I'm Tagging Talia, Megan, Caitlin , Rachel, Becca, Kim, and Carolyn

Pictures!!!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get these pictures on here, I've been so busy with school starting. So we took a bazillion pictures so I will just be giving a highlight of our trip. The pictures are a little out of order, I was having problems with my blog...anyhoo, here is the first part of our Trip: Washington DC, New York, Rhode Island, Boston, Salem and A little bit of Upstate NY. I will post more soon...... Enjoy! ( there are more pictures on the older posts too, don't stop at the end of this page)
The Whitmer farmA fun diner we went to in Waterloo, NY they had delicious blueberry pie!

The Whitmer farm, it was so neat being here, where some of the Book Of Mormon was translated
The very first Candy store in America..... of course we had to try it
One of the cemetery's of Salem, Mass.
We are on Bunker hill and the city of Boston is in the background, AHH I love Boston!

Rusty was so excited to find a four leaf clover!!! To our disappointment one leaf was split in Two!
Harvard!
Salem, Massachusetts
We went to a few museums that explained the Witch hysteria, this is the Witch Dungeon, the name explains it all. It was actually really cool, they had the actual transcript from the trial and they acted it out, it was fun. Its crazy how everyone in this town believed the girls that were pointing fingers at innocent people!
Boston! The Old State House- this is where they read the Declaration of Independence to everyone in Boston, and on the left side of the building is where the Boston Massacre took place












Cemetery, It was fun because there were guys dressed up in Revolutionary Attire. This Cemetery has a lot of famous people in it, like Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, And all of the men that were killed at the boston massacre.





Really cool gravestones








The Paul Revere house








Bunker Hill, it was in the most beautiful neighborhood I think i want to live there......



My Cute cousin Kelly, We stayed with her in New York, She showed us around and where the New Yorkers go and hang out and eat, we had a fabulous time!







Coney Island!








If you go to Coney Island it is a must that you get the Famous Nathan Hot dog-sooo good! ( I swear i gained so much weight on this trip!)













Me in front of the board walk on Coney Island





Newport, Rhode Island! So pretty, I was so mesmerized by the gorgeousness of this city that I forgot to take pictures!!!! This is the only picture I got- we had to of course get clam chowder when we were there, it was delicious! ( I liked the name of this restaurant- The Black Pearl)


The DC Temple











SO Beautiful







New York!! Since we had already been to New York, and done all of the touristy stuff we just hung out and people watched, that's times square in the distance.





Yummy Food- Pastrami Sandwich from Stages Deli- a must when you go to New York

The Jefferson Memorial- These are our friends Ivy and Shane, they live in DC and we stayed with them, it was so much fun!
