We drove to visit my grandparents in eastern Iowa, then we drove south to Nauvoo, Illinois (a historic site for our church--The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), then we continued south to stop in St. Louis, and then headed home stopping in Kansas City to visit some friends. My sister Jocelyn came with us on our trip!
The boys were actually pretty good travelers! Except they were hungry and wanted snacks all the time! 
Jocie even got to drive for a few hours through Nebraska
Our first stop--since we were driving right through Omaha, we stopped to see the Winter Quarters Temple (you can click here if you want to know more about temples)
The Winter Quarters site is dedicated to the many pioneers who passed through there on their way to Utah
At the visitor's center we saw a bronze exhibit of depictions of the Savior's life
We made it to Iowa late at night and the next day went with my grandparents to see the Mississippi River!
They took us to a farm museum with some cool tractors!
Big Bud is the largest tractor in the world
We also visited the Mississippi River museum--here they are driving tug boats
On Grandpa's "big blue" tractor! The boys were so excited to sit in his tractor. It was so humid out that my camera was fogging up!
Riding on another of Grandpa's tractors
Great grandma and Grant
Great grandpa and Ethan
