The "Voo"


This trip was actually over Labor Day but it has just taken me a while to post my pics. My ward, yes, I said my singles ward, went to Nauvoo over Labor Day. Can I just say that it was 5 fun-lovin' days of church sites, long bus rides, the most disgusting food I have ever eaten, sick hotels(especially the Super 8 somewhere in Wyoming complete with stained sheets and hair, not our hair, on the shower wall), and lots of interesting peeps. Let's just say that if you don't like FHE in a singles ward, this trip would not have been for you. And can I just say that if my good friend Brookie wouldn't have been there, I may have been suicidal. Enjoy the pics!

The freaky Community of Christ/RLDS temple in Independence Missouri- pronounced Mi-sur-a
Little known fact- the Visitors Center is actually built around the jail, the exsiting jail isn't there except for the original floor. A replica has been built.
Adam-Ondi-Ahman - not much there...yet.

The first of many disgusting meals.
The view from the Nauvoo temple overlooking the Mississippi River

All of the cute Sr. Missionaries put on a musical that was straight of "Waiting for Guffman". Brooke and I were dying the whole time and in honor, we had to show some guns and give our best dead swan.
The view from the grove where JS used to preach.

Unfortunately my camera died a few days before we came home so some sites weren't documented. Overall, good times were had by all and the memories made were priceless.

We've got to get those shower cap pics from the Bird sisters! We did have a hoot, didn't we? Thanks for being there on Bus 2 with me and not on shifty Bus 1 with the lames. Heart!

Oh mi gesh! When I saw you pics I started getting my nervous twitch! Right after Korto got married Beaver (Kellee) and I wend with Brad and Donnie to Missouri and Nauvoo for a week. Let's just say it was one of those trips where you're glad you went for the good stories you could tell when you got home but you really have no desire to go back.
