Thursday - Day 1
Anyway, when we got back to the hotel, we unloaded and then let the guys get some rest. It was a 13 1/2 hour drive so we figured they deserved it. ;) By the time they were up and ready to get going, it was too dark to visit old Nauvoo, so we went to the little theater in Keokuk. We saw Bedtime Stories and loved it!
On our way back, we passed the Temple. It is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! If you've never been, I'd definitley recommend taking a trip at least once!
The night ended with some much needed rest. (Day 2 and 3 to come!)
We left for Nauvoo on New Year's Eve at about 10pm. The guys said that they wanted to drive through the night so that we could have a bit more time there. Adi and I slept in the back while the guys drove. :) We arrived the next morning (1/1/09) at about noon. We were staying in a 2 bedroom/2 bath villa with a kitchen and living room, so we decided that we'd try to cook most of our meals. We didn't have any room in the car to bring food with us so headed over to the Wal-Mart in Keokuk to load up on some food. On our way there, we saw one of the most beautiful things EVER! There were tons and tons of bald eagles sitting on the frozen Mississippi River! They were everywhere!! Adi got a picture of one sitting on a branch.

I am definitely jealous! When I went with Baton Rouge youth a few years ago, we went in the winter, too, and saw the eagles, too. It was awesome.
I don't think there's anything like it!
