Day 2

As I said before Ben had control over the camera so that kind of explains the pictures. The 2 are of the Mississippi river. I have never really traveled so everything to me was exciting and I would have got so many more pictures, but Ben seemed annoyed that I wanted pictures of "stupid things".

The Nauvoo temple was so pretty. I actually took the picture of that but Ben said we would go back later(that same day) and get a better picture of all of it. That never happened. Our time at Nauvoo was really rushed and we didn't get to do all that we wanted to but it was a really spiritual experience. It makes things so much more "real" for lack of better wording. It was definitely worth going for.

The pictures of the the house was where Joseph Smith started a hotel. We caught up with a tour group in the middle of the tour. We didn't know that we couldn't take pictures so the 3 pictures are from inside of that building. Brooke those are for you! I have so many more pictures of the gravestones (inside joke) if any one is interested I will e-mail you. It really was so neat to get to see some of the historical places from our religion. I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to go and to those who help make it possible. Sorry about the random placement of the pictures. I am still learning and I am slow.
