nauvoo {this isn't the place}

I can see why this was not The Place since it was SO bloody hot and humid but Nauvoo was such a historical & spiritual site to visit! We only had a short amount of time but we toured all the houses, went to the gorgeous temple, touched the Mississippi river, laughed during a play at the visitors center, loved the relief society tribute garden, went to Carthage jail, toured with the community of Christ sites, watched a dramatization of Joseph and Emma reading each others letters in front of their house, walked the trail of hopes, learned tons of facts, heard inspiring stories, LOVED the pageant, drank tons of water and grew a greater appreciation for all we have...esp an air conditioned car.
