So, Friday we woke up at about 9am and Brandon cooked breakfast for us. Steak and eggs (filet mignon to be exact), toast, and hot chocolate! The room we were in didn't provide a pan (just 2 really small pots) so Brandon was creative and used a cookie sheet to grill the steak and scramble the eggs! It was kinda crazy... but breakfast was pretty awesome, I do have to say!
We were all acting grumpy in the pictures, but we weren't really. :)
After we finished our meal, we all got ready to head out to Nauvoo. As you can see, Mike really wanted to look nice for all the elderly missionaries giving the tours!
Nice chops, Mike!
The Pharmacy. It was also the place where they sold fabric, dishes, and bartered food. I suppose it was pretty much a general store.
The Cultural Hall. This place is really cool. It has 3 stories and we actually got to go up and see them all. The top level still has the original floor where Joseph & Emma actually danced together. The band played from the top balcony. It also has an amazing view of the temple from here.
Adi and I on the 1st floor. This is where the saints held all of their plays and entertainment.
There were tons of quilts and stuff on the 2nd Floor.
This is where the Prophet Joseph and his wife, Emma, danced!
This is the view of the temple from the 3rd floor window.
The stairs.
The Browning Gun Store. Brandon and Mike really loved this one. Shocker, right? It was really neat though. It's pretty amazing that one of the men in Nauvoo created guns that are still used today (and are real expensive, which means they must be good)!
We also went to a few other places but I don't have pictures of them. :( But when it got dark, we returned to our nice, warm villa. Adi and I cooked spaghetti for dinner (in the 2 smallest pots EVER). I actually had to cook the noodles in 2 batches... sad. But we had a great night! Day 3 coming soon!
