March in Nauvoo

We made the three hour trek from Des Moines to Nauvoo, Illinois. After riding 16 hours to get to Des Moines. It was really worth it. The women's statues in the visitor's center garden were made by my cousin, Dennis Smith. This one is one of my favorites.

They had all kinds of activities showing us the 1800 way of life. Bri is part of the rope making event. We saw the gun shop, the brick yard, the blacksmith shop.

We stayed at the Nauvoo cabins and shared fun times there. Just right for all of us. We ate a great buffet dinner, went to a little musical play about life in Nauvoo. We still had lots more to see......
