Vacation so far...

Yesterday my parents, sisters, & I came down to Iowa to visit and drop Kristina off at Grandma & Grandpa's house, as well as to visit my Mom's sisters Karen & Delmarae. So yesterday after arriving, we spent a nice evening, dinner, bonfire, and spending the night at Aunt Karen's. Then today we headed to Carthage Jail and Nauvoo. We enjoyed the spirit and feeling of Carthage Jail and Dairy Queen for lunch (I had to have a butterfinger blizzard). After that we headed to Nauvoo to attend some shows and dinner at Aunt Delmarae's. "High Hopes & Riverboats" was fun, dinner was great, and "Sunset by the Mississippi" was entertaining. I must say though, that the Nauvoo Pageant was absolutely wonderful. The spirit I felt while watching it was great. I recommend all three, but I definitely recommend the Nauvoo Pageant. Now I'm sitting back at Aunt Karen's house about to head to bed, ready to rest up for tomorrow's adventure. Beautiful pictures will be coming soon, but here's a preview...
