Family Trip to Nauvoo


















































Stacy and I decided that we wanted to "experience" Nauvoo before we headed back to Utah.  The trip was not too long, at least compared to our Utah trips, and everyone seemed to really have lots of fun.  The weather was perfect and the people we met there were wonderful.  Some of the highlights included visiting the Browning home, taking a wagon ride through the streets of Nauvoo, making rope and candles, watching the blacksmith make a mini horseshoe, watching a bald eagle sitting along the banks of the Mississippi River, seeing a "dream home," seeing the Nauvoo Temple, and visiting Carthage Jail.  The trip helped Stacy and I really appreciate the great sacrifices that these early church members made for the cause they believed in.

I'm glad you had a great time. You deserve it.
We really regret that we didn't go while we were in Omaha.
