We did it! Our Celebratory Trip

Part of Ben's mission journey was reaching some health milestones of which we all participated in. We hit our goal and celebrated with a 12 day trip to the East Coast, a Cruise to Florida and the Bahamas and a visit to Ben's Mission. The whole trip was superb! We loved spending time with family, seeing the sites, eating delicious food on the cruise and driving from New York to Boston. We were able to see much of Ben's mission, including the two temples in the mission and we visited our good friends in MA one night. He was especially excited to see where he will be serving in a few short months. We drove through Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and up to New Hampshire.
