On our ride home from Kentucky Carol, took us up through Nauvoo. Nauvoo (city beautiful) and boy is it beautiful, the church has done an amazing job, restoring and maintaining it, the tours were great and the history priceless. I think my favorite home was the home of Heber C Kimball, I loved the railing and the outside as well as the inside of the home. My favorite story told there was in Wilford Woodruffs home about why he had a fireplace in every room ( because he was so cold on his mission in england.) I was a little bummed that we didnt get to go into Joseph's home and hotel it is owned by the other church but we did get to into his red brick store and see where the Relief Society was organized. I loved Nauvoo and could really have stayed forever unfortunately the kids got a little bored so we headed over to pioneer pastimes where the kids got to play some fun pioneer games, they also got to make their own rope and go on an oxen ride. It was a good opportunity and alot of fun and I am so thankful for the sacrafices madeby our pioneers!
