To your left you will see an old red brick building...

Did you know that when it came down to getting the City of Nauvoo official in the eyes of the state of Illinois (the Nauvoo Charter), one of the main Illinois legislators to support the Nauvoosians was Abraham Lincoln?

Look what a beautiful day it was when we went on our horse-drawn wagon ride through the City of Nauvoo! Last time we sat in this wagon Sara was great with child and every bump put the funniest of looks on her face. This time there were plenty of funny looks on Sara's face, most of them generated by the frustration of trying to stop Zoe from squirming right over the side of the wagon. Even Mike and Mack, our quadraped chauffers, weren't able to extend her attention span to the necessary 45 minutes of the wagon ride. This wagon ride is the best way to see all of Nauvoo without having to do all that walking. After the ride you go back into town and visit the little shops and see the river. This makes Nauvoo pretty doable in one day. Of course, you want to stay at the Nauvoo Family Inn and Suites, and perhaps stay an additional day just to lounge about in the hotel and take it easy. Zoe really liked her bonnet, probably because when something is tied to your head you get to be pretty close friends.
