Nauvoo Sweet Nauvoo

Since the grand ole historical town is only about an hour from my house, I said heck yes to going. I love the upbeat, happy spirit you can feel there. Truly unforgettable.

First things first, a classic horse-drawn wagon ride. I actually got a smidge bored because I've heard the whole shabang before, so I kept tickling my 7 year old little sister, Bella, who sat in front of me.

Tours of all the houses were a must. It's crazy to think how people used to live way back then.

Oh dear. You see this cute, innocent little munchkin? Well, she wasn't being very cute and innocent when she ran passed the rope (marking where you are NOT allowed to go).

Not only were the tour guides freaking out, but so was everyone on the tour, especially when she touched all the ancient artifacts.

What a stinker.

As we were driving towards Hyrum Smith's historical house (because we had an actual descendant of his with us!! That'd be Makayla), Mak and I both spotted the most pristine location.

Perfectly ideal for a photo shoot.

And what do you know? Being that it was my family, of course a photo shoot was involved!

I also spotted this fun spot!

I loved going to Nauvoo. All the tours, entertaining shows, and watching the golden sun sparkle on the Mississippi were so amazing to witness.
