We left early Monday June 8th, drove to North Platte, NE. Then we continued to Nauvoo, IL on June 9th and stayed with my grandparents who are serving a mission.
The first day we went with my Uncle Kent, Aunt Lara and their family, Grandma and Grandpa to Carthage Jail about 30 minutes away from Nauvoo. The babies were so tired and cranky that later in the week Adam and I went alone so we could have a less stressful memory there :)
My grandparents are site missionaries and so they showed us many of the sites in Nauvoo. Some we saw alone, but all of them were so fun. We saw the boot makers, post office, family living center (shows how they made all sorts of stuff), schools, homes, and more. We also went to the temple there. It was AMAZING. It is a breathtaking temple. In the evenings my grandparents put on some shows with the other missionaries. They were great! In the show Rendezvous they sing a duet and have their own little vignet and they do a fantastic job. We had so much fun with them and are so excited for their return in August.
Saturday, June 13th we left and stayed in Toledo, OH then Sunday we went to Kirtland. I was amazed at the beautiful, serene little Haven that it has been restored to. I was thrilled to see a home and lumber mill that were restored or replicated that once belonged to my ancestors.
