We've decided it would be fun to make a vacation out of the long drive so we stopped at Mt. Rushmore the first day spent the night and enjoyed the amazing sights and going to a reptile house as well as the awesome water park inside the hotel which Makenna wouldn't come out of. She stayed with her Dad for four hours going around the waterslides!
The next day was grueling as we drove for nearly 15 hours to Nauvoo. We got in late, tired, and on edge. . . . But after a good nights rest we enjoyed the beauty's that only Nauvoo has to offer! We walked around and visited the houses. Ate at some yummy diners. And shopped for some trinkets. We slept soundly then awoke to the beautiful sunrise over the temple. Our hotel room had a window that looked right out to the temple!
