Cross country road trip: Day 1, August 8, 2017

There are many, many things I love about Seth, but one of them is he is great at planning trips. He always manages to find a way to make visiting new Temples part of any trip he can, and this trip was no different. Some temples took us a little out of our way, like Bismark North Dakota, but it was worth every extra second in the car. We now have a map of the USA up in our dining room and there are white thumbtacks for every temple we have been to together. We love seeing the beautiful temple grounds and it always makes for a great break to stretch our legs and talk about the wonderful work being done inside these beautiful buildings. 
Our road trip to New York was a long, but amazing one. I am posting each day on its own, since there is so much that happened. 
Day 1: August 8, 2017
We said goodbye to Cyndy, headed to the house to say goodbye to Oma, Papa and Christopher and then we were on the road. We stopped at the Portland Temple for one last view of the beautiful place we were married. I will miss that temple, but am so happy to have one close by in Palmyra. From there we hit the road, heading to Spokane, Washington.
We stopped at the Columbia River Washington Temple along the way, got dinner at Café Rio in Spokane and then went to stay the night at Seth's Aunt Joanna's house. We chatted with her for a bit and then got a good nights sleep.
