Boston Massachusetts Temple
It’s hard to argue with a $70.02 round-trip airfare from Washington DC to Boston. So I didn’t argue; I just went. My alarm went off at 3:30 AM. At 4 AM I was on the road. I arrived at BWI airport at 4:50 AM. At …

Palmyra New York Temple
I was supposed to be in Detroit today, visiting the Detroit Michigan Temple. Accordingly I arrived at the Baltimore Washington International airport around 6:30 AM in order to catch my 8 o’clock flight. It would arrive in Detroit around 10 AM. The temple doesn’t open …
Vernal Utah Temple
It all started with the airfare—$156 round-trip from Washington DC to Salt Lake City. I came out to wine and dine my 88-year old mother for her birthday. I told her she got to choose whatever she wanted to do. She chose to go to …
Columbia South Carolina Temple
It would be my final and seventh temple in the last five days. I drove here from Atlanta this morning. The trick would be to make it before they close. Their last endowment session starts at 2:30 PM. I got there at 3:10 PM. But …
Atlanta Georgia Temple
There’s a lot of healing that takes place inside a temple owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including spiritual healing, emotional healing, and even physical healing. Well apparently that healing also applies to the parking lot. For about 1200 miles on …
Birmingham Alabama Temple
It was about 190 miles from the Nashville Tennessee Temple to the Birmingham Alabama Temple. I arrived at about 2:30 and the first session wasn’t until 6 PM so we had a few hours to take a nap. I cleared out the area behind the …
Nashville Tennessee Temple
I drove about 190 miles last night from Louisville Kentucky to Nashville Tennessee. When I arrived it was 1:30 in the morning. I pulled into the empty stake center parking lot and parked under a tree. I cleared out the back of my …
Louisville Kentucky Temple
This third temple of the day was going to be a make-it-or-break-it effort. If I got out of the Indianapolis Temple in time and the traffic was favorable I might make it for the latter part of the day in the Louisville Kentucky Temple but …
Indianapolis Indiana Temple
It’s 174 miles from the Columbus Ohio Temple to the Indianapolis Indiana Temple. And the most fascinating part of the roads that you drive on are within a block of the Indianapolis Temple. They have some roundabouts there, I think a series of three of …
Columbus Ohio Temple
I started my White Friday Thanksgiving temple tour yesterday afternoon in Bethesda Maryland. My plan is to visit seven temples in five days. One of the highlights of the drive was going through the Allegheny Mountain tunnel. That’s an engineering marvel! D41E9F03-D7B2-43C5-8A5E-B46CBFB81FC1 That plan got …
