Our next big stop was in Illinois at Carthage and Nauvoo. These are two historical towns for our church and I had never been to either one of them. I was excited to go and see this first hand and to feel the spirit while touring the jail, visitors center and temple. What a beautiful part of the country - very green and lush. The flowers were amazing and the weather ended up being perfect. There are lots of pictures to upload! Enjoy!
