Nauvoo!


Justin and I recently visited Nauvoo, Illinois and it was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Because Justin and I were on our way home from Ohio, we camped in Ohio, which was quite the experience. In a short story...we were in a 3 foot wide tent and sweating profuseness from the humidity. It was very hard to sleep, to say the least, but it was definitely an adventure. Justin and I have so much fun together and I love sharing these moment together.

The Monument to Women

A huge flower

The Browning gun smith shop





The printing press





The huge ox

Joseph, Hyram and Emma Smith's tomb stone

The Nauvoo temple. Justin and I did a session Tuesday morning. Such a great experience. We got special permission to go look at the baptismal font and Joseph Smith's Nauvoo Legend sward.









Inside Carthage Jail. The door to where Joseph Smith was.

The window Joseph Smith fell out of.



If you look towards the top of the window, there are hundreds of chips out of the cement, due to being shot out. Compare it to the cement section underneath the window.

Livin it up in a hotel!

The last couple of weeks of our summer in Ohio was spent in a extended stay hotel in Findlay, Ohio. It was another new adventure Justin and I had ventured together, but we are glad its over. This is what Justin walked out of the door with everyday... Hat, tag, his special pen, and his binder.

One would think that living in a hotel for two weeks would be boring, but look what we do in our spare time... Justin throws ice in my hair and as revenge, he gets his leg hairs pulled out...
