Illinios

What a fun trip, we visted the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago (it is free!)


We also went to check out the Sears Tower. The top floor was closed, but they still took tours part way up. Weird.


We went to the museum of science and industry. This museum is HUGE! There was a submarine inside the building in addition to many other displays. I probably could have stayed there a few days to play with the toys, watch the movies, and read the displays.

When the Turner's showed up we had to go look at all the big green things inside the headquarters of John Deer. (Wait I am a Turner.)










Then we went to Nauvoo. It was fun to see where Joseph Smith walked and lived. One of my favorite spots was a grove of trees near the temple where the prophet taught the saints. We also got to go to the temple in Nauvoo, it is beautiful. Then we went to Carthage jail, where the prophet died.




Then we got to see the house that Steveo grew up in, he remembered it being bigger.
