Nauvoo, Illinois--Day 1

For the weekend between Charles' summer term of classes and the start of the fall semester, we decided to take a little family trip and go to Nauvoo, Illinois.  We left EARLY in the morning to beat a huge thunderstorm that was heading right towards Lincoln and then had to drive around all the flooding up and down the Missouri, so the six hour drive took closer to seven or eight.  But it was totally worth it.

One of my college roommates played with the Brass Band before we all got married.

Fun fact...Charles and I went to Nauvoo on our honeymoon, six years ago to the day this picture was taken.

Sunset on the Mississippi is such a fun show...if you get to go to Nauvoo in the summer, make sure you watch it.

We saw an old friend perform with BYU Synthesis...but it was a late show and we didn't get to stop and talk to him, since we had been up since 5 and were SO ready to go to bed.
