Ernest and I went to Nauvoo in April for a quick weekend getaway. We planned it on a Thursday and then left Friday after work. I misread the temple schedule, so it was closed for maintenance. That meant the entire town was incredibly quiet. I've never seen it quite that slow. But we had a great time. We walked around the downtown part and did some shopping. Hit the Nauvoo Fudge Factory (a MUST every time you go). My new favorite is either Peanut Butter Fudge or Mint Fudge. Both were incredibly good. We visited the Community of Christ section (RLDS) and toured their sites - the Red Brick Store, Nauvoo Hotel, Joseph Smith's Home, etc. Ernest really enjoyed it. We've been reading The Work and the Glory series when we go on road trips, so it fit in really well with what we've been reading about. We only got to see a few of the LDS historical sites since it was such a short trip. We did, however, make it Carthage, which was amazing. And we saw the Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo musical that the senior missionaries put on. It was so fun. We're heading back in August for the pageant, and a little bit longer of a stay so that we can go through more of the historical sites.
