Vermont and the Joseph Smith birth site memorial

On day 2 of our little trip we took the ferry across Lake Champlain and drove down through Vermont. The main highlight was the Joseph Smith birth-site memorial in Sharon Vermont. It was really out in the middle of nowhere. However, the visitor's center was amazing.
Here is a picture of Emma standing on the original door step of the Smith home. As always, she was very reverent... This is the monument that was carved from a nearby quarry. It is the largest, seemless obelisk in the world! A little ways from the visitor center are old highways through the forest. This was an old stone bridge that you can see the wagon wheel lines in.

Emma is amazingly reverent for a 2 yr old. I hope she's willing to give Reed a lesson or two this fall.
