Today was my Preparation Day and I didn't have a zone meeting this morning and didn't have a performance tonight so Elder & Sister Curtis (from Crestline, CA) and I went to Springfield, IL to visit the historic Abraham Lincoln sites. It is about 3 hours away from Nauvoo, IL. What a very fun day we had. I am so grateful we had the opportunity to go and see.

This windmill was out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of green fields!

Me with the Abraham Lincoln family at the Lincoln Museum, It was a fabulous museum.

The Old State Capital

This is looking at the top of the new State Capital from the steps of the Old State Capital. We didn't have time this trip to tour the new State Capital building.

Across the street from the Lincoln Library and the Lincoln Museum

The Lincoln's home in Springfield, IL - we went inside on a tour.

The Lincoln Memorial and current burial site for him and his wife and 3 of their children. The other son is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

This was the temporary burial site for Lincoln until the Memorial was finished.
