Fredrickson Family vacation: Day 4

Day 4:

Part 1:
The day began at 5 a.m.
We drove about 5 hours to Carthage and Nauvoo.
Our first stop was the Carthage Jail vistor's Center.
We watched a nice video and took a tour of the jail.
It was very special to learn the history of Carthage.

the original door and bullet hole from the bullet that shot Hyrum
the window Joseph jumped from to get away from the mob

Part 2:
After Carthage jail we headed to Keokuk to check in at our hotel and grab lunch.
Then we went to historic Nauvoo.
This little town is so adorable and I immediately fell in love.
We cruised around for a bit and then went for a walk.
Nauvoo is full of restored shops and homes that you can tour and see demonstrations.
We went to the bakery and the general store/pharmacy.
We also went shopping at the cute stores on Main Street.
Then we went for a drive to the bridge and were lucky we didn't get "barged".
After, we visted Grandma Julie and Richard.
Once we were back at the hotel Jen, MG, and I headed to the pool.
