Our Trip to the City Beautiful

Nauvoo

how we love thee

our trip...in pictures


we stopped at Winter Quarters

I drove out with these girls (and Mom & Dad) and Aaron and Hiram flew out later because of finals

Dan & Annie (such a cute pregnant woman) flew in from Georgia!

all the gals at the Nauvoo Visitors' Center

LOVE this temple - more posts to come!

you can see why it's called the city beautiful


playing games and eating treats - our favorite late night activity

our lovely cabin

my gorgeous husband
Aaron's ancestors (on both sides) lived in Nauvoo - and this was Patti Session's home (an ancestor!)

the whole family on the mississippi

so, I drove with Aaron's family for 4 days (2 days there and 2 days back)

and Aaron and Hiram flew in after finals, and flew back

lucky ducks

however, I was able to read:

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and His Other Writings
Harry Potter #1
Ella Enchanted

well worth it.

We left Michael with my mom. THANK YOU MOM!!

and we had a blast.

We literally have about 800 pictures (from Aaron's dad and our camera),

so indulge me and look forward to a few more Nauvoo posts!

  1. I am SO jealous you got to go to WQ and Nauvoo! I grew up around those places! I'm glad you had a good time!!!!

    (ps, I think Dan and Annie were in our ward when we lived in Quad 2...are you guys related?)
