So after a very long and painful night with Emma...We decided to stick with our plan of visiting Nauvoo in the morning. We crossed the Mississippi River and entered Illinois. After a short 12 miles we pulled into the familiar town of Nauvoo. We knew our way around pretty well from our visit last year. We parked on the back side of the temple and then went for a walk in the downtown area. We hit up some local bookstores and let Emma stretch her legs. We also walked around the temple grounds and got some cute pictures of Emma.
This is the "Stuart" pose.
We then went down to the historical part of town. We stopped to let Emma see her ancestor's house and play with a buterfly. We then drove down Parley Street to the Mississippi along the Trail of Hope, and then back up to the Joseph Smith home and cemetery.
Emma has been teething again so we decided to drive down to Quincy to give Emma a little nap in the car. We then had lunch at Applebees. Emma also had a nice lunch of gerber stars...
We then drove back to Keokuk where we will stay the night again. Leisha and Emma are taking a much needed nap while I do this post. We head to Ohio tomorrow and just a short trip to home in Geneva!

I'm glad you had a good day despite a hard night and a teething baby. No fun on that end. I just love the Nauvoo Temple, it's gorgeous.
Can you smell New York yet? You're so close to home!
Sounds like a wonderful sight seeing day! I love the pictures of Emma getting ready to eat her star. I love when we can entertain them with some food!
