Since we were only about 3 hours away from Nauvoo this summer, we decided to take a couple of days and make a trip over there. We drove over after church on Sunday and stayed at a hotel nearby. In the morning, I was able to go to a session in the Nauvoo temple while Rob watched the kids (he had been through this same temple a few weeks previous with his cousin Kenny). And then we went and explored Nauvoo. We did the oxen ride, played with the old pioneer toys, did dress up, got a treat from the bakery, saw the bricks being made, the blacksmith, stopped at the fudge shop, etc. After Nauvoo we rushed over to Carthage to take the Carthage Jail tour before they closed up for the day. Although I have done both of these things a couple of times in the past, it's always a great reminder to me of the legacy of the pioneers and what they sacrificed.
