We arrived in Nauvoo, Illinois, the City Beautiful, on Thursday about noon. Janeen, Greg and family were camped in the park. We had such a wonderful time. We were in cell phone and computer neverland as reception was poor--no wifi for the computer.
We saw many beautiful and inspiring homes, gardens, and statues. Here Trey posed in the Visitor's Center garden. We've eaten everything we could have including fudge and custard. Janeen and I went to the quilt show and met Annie Smith. She's a wonderful lady! We could have talked for hours, but we had to go to Carthage Jail. We truly enjoyed the wonderful entertainment. Here is a scene from Sunset by the Mississippi. Do you think we could sing and dance if we were called to Nauvoo?
We loved our bed and breakfast! There were three other couples there --one from Brazil who were wonderful. It was beautifully maintained.
The pageant pre-activities were more fun for some than for others!
It's hard to put into words the beautiful spirit which prevails in Nauvoo. To top off the experience, we went today to the Land and Records office and I found some information for which I've searched for years! It just couldn't have been a more perfect three days!We're now in Hannibal, Missouri. Tomorrow we plan to ride a steamboat, go to Mark Twain sites and explore Tom Sawyer's cave. Hope all of you are well. This is a beautiful statue of two brothers! They are special!

What a wonderful trip mom! You should put together a slide show for Ensign! We could cook popcorn and show it on a sheet on one of the cabins.
I think Joe's idea sounds awesome. I'm so glad you and dad are having such a good time!
