Nauvoo

If you are looking for a really great and cheap family vacation - take your kids to Nauvoo next year for the pageant. It typically runs through the month of July, and it really is a blast. The pageant is at night, but there are all sorts of plays/shows to go see during the day, and lots of games and things to do for the kids. Be sure to do the handcart trek and don't miss the Sunset on the Mississippi show. We had planned to be in Nauvoo for 3 days and we ended up staying for 5 because we had such a great time! We camped at the State park that is right there in Nauvoo for only 10 dollars a night, and all of the events are free! What a great deal!!

We are now in Chicago visiting Jeff's sister, Kelly. We'll be here until Wednesday - Jeff has a conference downtown until Tuesday. Then we'll be heading off to Pennsylvania!
