Our Road Trip to NAUVOO

Our Trip to Nauvoo started with a 5 day rest and drive session. We drove about 500 miles sat. Then we rested Sunday and went to church with my cousin Jimmy. Monday, we went to the Denver children's museum and drove another 500 miles to Omaha. The boys loved the Musuem, it had a fire truck, a shopping area, a mini basket ball area, a tree house and wild animal exhibit, an art area and Ben's favorite an ABC wall!!!

Then Tuesday, we saw Omaha "Winter Quarters" and traveled 200 miles to Independence.
Then in Independence we saw Liberty Jail and headed to Nauvoo.
In Nauvoo we met up with the Whole EARL Clan. And had three days of Nauvoo shows and entertainment! They Boys loved the fact that they got to wake up everyday and see their Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins!

As Fun as the trip was it wasn't always a fun and easy thing to drive cross country to two toddlers and a 8 month pregnant wife! Plus by the end the boys had just had enough Adventure.

Looks like you had fun. You are brave to travel and be 8 months prego. I didn't want to go anywhere.

Seriously? Driving to Nauvoo with 2 toddlers when you're 8 months pregnant? I'm pretty sure that earns you a "Get Into Heaven Free" card. . .at least it *should*!

I'm glad you guys had a fun trip and made it home safely! Best wishes for the upcoming arrival of #3. :)
