On June 21, I was able to go to a Singles Conference in Hartford, CT. Cori is in Massachusetts for the summer and her stake was invited to attend. So we both went. It was a great day. We left her house early on that Saturday morning and drove to Hartford. The first activity of the day started at 9:00. We went and visited some Wilford Woodruff sites. He grew up in Hartford.
Our first stop was the cemetery where his mom was buried. It is a really old cemetery as you can see. Her name is hard to read.
Our next stop was to the cemetery where Robert Mason was buried. He was a man that talked to Wilford Woodruff about the church, but never got baptized. This cemetery was so cool.
Our last stop was at Wilford Woodruff's birth place. This rock is it. It was a funny story. When we were told that we were going to his birthplace, we were excited. When we pulled up to this park, we looked around and there was this rock and we were disappointed. Then, the guide that was directing us told us that through the trees is the actual area but we weren't allowed to go there because it was a boy scout camp. So we have the rock.
Our evening activity was a cruise with some dancing on the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford. Here is our boat.
These two, we met up with before the cruise and had such a good time with them. Their names are Golfo and Staci. They made the evening so much more entertaining.
This is Hartford. It was a fun trip.
