Highlights of our Adventure

It was a 3-day trip with not too many stops, but when we stopped it was sooo

 Worth the trip

The colors were gorgeous on the way to Nauvoo.

We were able to walk through the Women's Garden there this time.
 I am so glad we did.

These aren't in the order of the walk. I forget which ones were first.

We found Paul's Cousin and her Hubby in the wagon. We got an almost personal tour with them. 

Sister Evelyn and Elder Dale Maples

They posed for a "Groupie" with us too.

We kept going to get to Kansas City for the night. 

We needed to get Paul's suit fitted early Friday morning.

After that we drove to Liberty Jail.

We visited here before but it's good to get a different guided tour.

Our eldest son and his wife came in as we were listening to the Guide.

I was surprised when he tapped me on the shoulder.

The Girls texted to ask if I wanted to get a Manicure with them.

Of course.

On Sunday, we found a Church in Independence. Then we took the Visitor's Center Tour.

We had the same Elder that was at Liberty Jail on Friday.

The Begonias were HUGE at Liberty and Independence.

Across the street was the Temple Lot dedicated by Joseph in 1831.

This property is owned by the Church of Christ, (Temple Lot Mormons)

Also across the Street was the Community of Christ Headquarters.

Formerly called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ

This Statue was in the UN Peace Plaza nearby.

We dropped Brant and Tina off after we ate Lunch at Golden Corral. 

Then it was time to head north, back to Omaha to get our Stuff.

Back at the Trail Center with two of our Senior Couples.

Parkers came special to talk to me about the CRICUT

Parkers and Armstrongs

The passing of the Quilt from me, the Former FM to Sister Dompier.

It fits just right. Sister Dompier will put the other one somewhere until Spring.

I showed her the Mattresses and tried to tell her how to care for them.

The Bennett's and Us.

Trying to get the Selfie Stick to work was an problem.

Monday Morning we left after packing up and going one more time over to the 

Winter Quarters Temple.

Warning, Don't step in the Nebraska MUD!

On to South Dakota. We passed by an Obelisk that we didn't know what it was, 

Had to Google it.

Other Sights along the road, we didn't stop to look closer.

And this "Dignity" Statue was at a Rest Area, BONUS!

The Statue had spaces between the diamonds for the air to go through.

Like Stained glass windows!

It was so Windy!!

Next up was Mt Rushmore! 

The drive was longer because a Bridge was being worked on.

The views!!!

Only took us 45 Years to go see this.

Tree growing out of the rock and a Tame pair of Deer that posed for a Picture.

We had more to share that I will do on another posting. More Quilty stuff.
