Ok so we didn't really get the full pioneer experience since we drove around in the car instead of a covered wagon, but we did get to see all of the church sites in our area in two days. We started out going to Independence and seeing the lot they have marked as the temple grounds. We went in the visiting center and learned a little about the pioneers. The visiting center is right across from the now Community of Christ church's temple (the big spirally building). then we headed over to Liberty and visited the jail that Joseph and others spent 4 months in.
Adam-Ondi-Ahman
Next we went to Adam-Ondi-Ahman. It had to be one of my favorite places we saw. There isn't much there but it is so beautiful. The pictures really can't show how pretty the country is all around there. On a walk Jack had to stop and suck his toe, he got the whole big toe in his mouth it was pretty funny.
Carthidge Jail
On the way to Nauvoo we stopped at Carthidge. It was a neat spot for our family because Luke (and now Jack) are direct decendants of Hyrum Smith. To see the exact spot where the prophet and his brother were marytered gave life to the events we have learned about throughout our lives.
