We left Friday at 1:30pm from Utah in our car and by Saturday around 7:30pm we had not been to our hotel room yet. We are both going on about 5 hours of sleep combined. Considering all that, these first two pictures turned out alright. The Nauvoo Temple is worth seeing in person!
We spent other parts of our time touring Nauvoo and Carthage Jail. The first picture below is the coolest picture of the trip. The Missionary giving tours through the carthage jail gave us his "patented shot." Which is, literally, a picture through the gun shot hole of the carthage jail door to which Hyrum was killed. That is us, and Mike and Jessica, standing by the window sill and window where Joseph was shot and leapt from.
The second picture is with us and Jannelle (Maegan's Cousin) and her Husband (also named Brian) who we just happened to see at the Carthage Jail tour! Very, very random. Small world. The window just above Jannelle and her Husband is the outside of the window in first picture. It is the window Joseph Smith jumped from and died just below there.
The third picture is of us by the grave of the Prophet Joseph. This is in Nauvoo and just near the Mansion and Summer house of Joseph and Emma.
These pictures are of the Lovely Maegan and our little baby Reagan who made the trip with us. Just Beautiful!
Here is Brian, Mike, Katie and their Dad at the funeral of Doris Eleanor Duryea.

Wow - first of all I have to say I get tears in my eyes when I see the 3kids with their Dad... It is an awesome picture.
Love the pics of Nauvoo - and can you believe it!! You saw Janelle - I say small world.
I am glad you all got to take the trip.
Also - I think it's WILD that each of the boys (Brian, Mike, their Dad) have a striped shirt on... Didn't Katie get the memo???
Boy, these pictures make me very homesick for the midwest - I love it there. I am so glad you got to Nauvoo. That temple is so amazing. It is fun to see the baby too cute pictures of Reagan and Maegan. Those long trips across I80bring back many memories!! Glad you are back safe and sound.
love, Mom
What?! Only you, Brian, & the baby!?! You guys are animals driving straight through from UT to IL. We haven't been since the Nauvoo open house when Tyler & I were engaged. I would love to go back; what a special trip for you guys!
I was thinking the same thing as Nats. You're a champ. Those were some great pictures. That baby is so cute...so much hair! I love it. We need to talk slings. I have one but I'm thinking about getting/making one like yours...do you have any recommendations??
