We traveled through 3 states Sunday-Tuesday!
We planned on traveling through two, the third one snuck up on us!
The states consisted of driving across Missouri to get to Illinois!
We visited Grandma and Grandpa Bartles who are missionaries at Carthage Jail in Carthage IL!
It also gave us a chance to add to #'s 10 and 29!
Here are the pictures that explain practically what fun was had!
Monday morning Justin and I were able to attend the 8am session.
Ellie getting a tour of the jail from Grandma Bartles
This is the window Joseph Smith fell out of when he was shot.
This door has the original bullet holes that injured and killed 2 of the men that were in this room with Joseph Smith.
My lack of photographer skills is visible....but just enjoying a walk outside as a family.
Ellie's first time seeing the Nauvoo, IL temple
Inside this building is where Justin proposed to me 4 years ago on July 30th.
We thought we would show Ellie and reminisce a bit!
=)
Trying to give an acorn to a squirrel with Grandma Bartles
All tuckered out from all the fun!
It was such a blast and so awesome that Carthage and Nauvoo are only about 5 hours away from us!
