Our last stop before Chicago was Nauvoo. Nauvoo was also an important spot for the early Mormon pioneers. Back in the day Nauvoo was the 2nd largest city in Illinois - a growing vibrant city. Now there a dozens of missionaries who give tours of Nauvoo, put on musical productions, and teach about the church. We had such a blast here!
On a wagon tour of the city:
Nauvoo Temple! It was beautiful! We were able to visit and do a session at the temple - it was so wonderful!
Another tour:
Young performing missionaries:
Houses and shops as they would have been back in the day:
Missionaries putting on a musical production:
Sean thought that this was funny:

This is where we camped..... It stayed dry long enough for us to set up our tent before it started pouring.... Yes, we camped in a thunderstorm - this is how cheap we are :)
A quick correction. That picture that Heidi said I thought was funny *IS* funny. Click on the picture to blow it up and read the text beneath the words "DO NOT BLOCK DOOR" (and those over to the right of the shot, too). If you don't find that funny then I don't know you.
