Memorial Day in Western New York

For Memorial Day we took a family trip to Western New York. We visited Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester. We had a really fun time. Jason showed us some of the places he lived and worked during his mission. We went to the Buffalo Zoo and had pizza and wings at La Nova. We then drove up to Niagara Falls and rode the Maid of the Mist. We ended the trip in Rochester with dinner at our favorite restaurant, the Brookhouse and trips to the Public Market and the Strong Museum of Play.

The Strong Museum is one of our favorite places to visit. We especially enjoyed shopping at Wegman's grocery store for kids.

Jason took us for a tour of his mission area in Buffalo. We were all a little surprised at how bad the neighborhood was. Callie was very shocked that there were large piles of garbage and furniture on many of the streets. The picture below is where Jason lived while serving in Buffalo.
