I'm A Survivor

We made it to Nauvoo and had a fabulous time at the reunion. As stressed as I was about packing, it only took a few hours to get it all done (with Dave's help). Christian did marvelous on the road trip and was a happy boy the whole week. I, however, was very sick the first half of the vacation and missed a lot of great opportunities to see some sights. I was able to see Liberty Jail and Independence, MO, but I missed the trip to Carthage. I was really bummed about that. We didn't get to see much in Nauvoo between me being sick and Christian's short attention span. But we did see a couple things we missed last time we were there. It was nice to get away for a whole week as a family. The last time we had a vacation that long was our honeymoon (which was also a roadtrip to Nauvoo). So, hopefully we will be able to go back once we have older kids. Oh, and if you ever think about camping in Nauvoo--don't. It's hot, humid, buggy and miserable. I am glad we had the opportunity to get away, but I am glad to be home.
