Our first stop was at Carthage and we toured the historic jail where Joseph Smith was shot and died.
This is a statue of Joseph and his brother Hyrum Smith.
Sarah enjoyed walking around on the property. She is at the stage where she doesn't stay in one place for very long now. It is getting harder for me to take pictures of her face. Most of the time I get pictures of her back walking away. :)
This is the real bullet hole that went through the door.
This is the window that Joseph Smith fell out of to his death after being shot.
We went on a road trip this weekend to Nauvoo. My mom and her boyfriend Doug came with us on our trip. We left on Friday night and went to Macomb. Then we finished the journey to Carthage Saturday morning. Before we toured the historic jail there was a short film explaining who Joseph Smith is. Then we toured the jail where he was kept on false charges. Mobs came in and killed him. Josh and I have been there several times but this was the first time my mom and Doug have been there. Our next stop was Nauvoo IL
