Nauvoo, Illinois

We spent a day and a half in Nauvoo and absolutely loved it! Not only was it a spiritual lesson about the Saints but it was also a good history lesson. It's amazing how the Saints and others lived in the 1840's. We visited the bakery, blacksmith shop, gun shop, Hall of the 70's, shoe shop, Brigham Young's home, School house, took pictures with oxen, and much more things. We took the tour of the buildings that the Community of Christ owns as well. I felt like Nauvoo was like an amusement park because you choose which places you want to visit that are all along main street. It was so much fun. I highly recommend going. It's worth the drive too because there are other things so see too. We also did a temple session in the Nauvoo temple which is beautiful. We took a lot of pictures so we will post them when we get the chance.
