We stayed at this cute little place:
We were able to go through the Nauvoo temple which I have to say is my new favorite (matched only by Logan's). Every little detail both inside and out was perfect and gorgeous. And I love all of the history.
This statue was Taylor's favorite. Joseph and Hyrum Smith stood and looked over the valley for the last time before they went to Carthage.
We went to a concert on the river, explored the historical sites and houses around town, and took an excursion to Carthage Jail where we saw where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed. The mob ran up these stairs . . .
Shot through this door (killing Hyrum) . . .
And in to this room (where Joseph was killed and fell out of the window):
It was all very humbling and we both felt the spirit of the people that built that city. It is great to be in a place so rich in history. For more pictures of the sites and the trip click here.
