Summer vacation to Nauvoo!

We may have set a new record with 2000 miles and 76 pics/videos in 4 days on our spontaneous trip to Nauvoo, Illinois this weekend!  Best way to start a roadtrip: just stop off at Aunt Jenny's house to pick up some CD's and get the royal treatment with dinner-to-go, car snacks and trip goodies! Thanks Jen!

Ahh, the memories of Oklahoma Quik Trips...

 

And after 17 hours of driving, we're in Carthage ~ great experience seeing Joseph Smith's Jail

Beautiful Nauvoo temple

 

Lucky us, to meet up with Mom and Dad there too!

 

 

Such fun shops... Blacksmith, schoolroom, brickyard...

 

 

Grandpa launching Kenny in the pool...

 

 

Then Kenny launching Grandpa!

 

 

It was fun to be in the car together for so long ~ it made us miss our weekend European adventures. But this was great too!
