Carthage Jail and Springfield Illinois

After Nauvoo we headed over to Carthrage Jail. This was an amazing place for some reason you could really feel the spirit so strong here. I loved being able to tour the jail and learn more about what actually happened and that the family that lived in the Jail actually did a lot to protect Joseph and Hyrum during there stay.

After Carthage we headed over to Springfield Illinois to learn more about one of now Jenna's most favorite persons...Abraham Lincoln. She became really attached to him for some reason. After touring his house, going to the museum, and then visiting his tomb Jenna announced to us that she really doesn't like mustaches but she like beards cause Abraham Lincoln had a beard. And for the rest of the trip we would sing "Abraham Lincoln he is the best!"

The museum was awesome and actually very kid friendly and like all things on this trip I wish that we could have spent more time there.

I had never been to a presidents tomb before, or really anyone importance tomb before it was very cool. We were not allowed to talk while in the tomb. Very cool. Someday I am going back to this place and spend more time.
