Nauvoo

We decided to stop in Nauvoo on our way to Ohio. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. I guess it starts getting busy in a few weeks there. It was a great time to go except it was a little bit cold and rainy. It was beautiful there and really nice to see all the church history there. We made it there on our second day and spent the night in Fort Madison, IA, across the Mississippi River. In the morning we went to see the sites. We went to the family center, the bakery, the blacksmith, the brick mason, and walked around the town. The kids liked learning and did Ky and I did too. It was neat to see and was not busy at all. It was a rainy morning but it stopped long enough for us to get a few family pictures by the beautiful temple. On our way out of town we stopped at the Carthage jail. We were so happy to have the opportunity to see and experience all the history there.
