The highlight was going on the Maid of the Mist boat ride to see the falls from below. They suited us up in blue rain ponchos before hand (but they certainly didn't keep us dry).
And this is a little tribute to that crazy night at Disneyland:
The falls were stunning from the boat. So powerful! And worth getting soaked for.
After visiting Niagara we had to dry off so we went and ate lunch and checked into our hotel near Palmyra. After a little break, we set out again and visited the office where the Book of Mormon was first printed. It was really amazing. Here is a copy of the manuscript.
Here is a picture of the printing press.
And here is one of the finished copies.
Afterwards we visited the Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center. The room with the Christus is really beautiful. They play the same recording at each visitor's center, but I was really touched here. It made me think about how personal the Savior is - He redeemed ME from my sins, and He visited Joseph Smith in an answer to his personal prayer. Oh it is wonderful to me!
Then we hiked up the Hill Cumorah and visited the monument on the top. The view was beautiful!
