We started out early this morning going out to see Carthage Jail. I love Carthage Jail--and the feelings that are there. It makes my testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the restoration so much stronger.
After going to Carthage, we went back into Nauvoo to play. We wandered through the Community of Christ Church's sites that belonged to the prophet Joseph Smith.

| The Bakery |
After that, we went and found the property our Grandpa Zebedee owned that we learned about at the lands and titles building. We think it was in this area.
We also saw Brigham Young's home. There were some plates that were recovered there that they had had someone rebuild. It goes to show that with some effort and work--it can almost look like new.

I miss Nauvoo! We stayed in the Nauvoo House one year for girls camp, it was so awesome!!! By the way, I had to chuckle when I looked at your blog because we have the same background ;). You have great taste!
Ha--that is funny Daleen! You know your destination for now though :) Mine is unknown... :/ But--at least I'm having fun on the way there!
Good luck in Texas! I'll miss seeing you in Rexburg when I appear there!
