Next we headed for some church sites. My parents joined us for the next few days. We started at The Crown center in Kansas, where there was a Lego exhibit and a Crayola store. Then we headed to Liberty Jail and Independence. These are humbling sites and remind us of the persecution of the early church. We then headed to Omaha for the night before we went to Nauvoo the next morning. We loved going to Nauvoo and seeing some of the homes and businesses of the saints. The blacksmith, the brickyard, the tinsmith, the wagon makers, the print shop, the gun shop and the bakery. We were there on a Sunday, so there was no pageant. Unfortunately, we took too long enjoying Nauvoo that we didn't get to any other church sites.
We went to Hannibal, MO the next day to see where Mark Twain was inspired to write his classics, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. Then went down to St. Louis, where we took a Riverboat ride on the Mississippi and tour the Gateway Arch. Then we walked around and took in some of the baseball festivities of the Homerun Derby/All Stars Game.
