  1. Fun! Looks like the same tour I took a few years back (I may or may not have been excited about it), we even stopped at Niagara, which was my favorite. I don't see any picture evidence of this, but SO HELP me Christine, if you guys came down to Liberty Jail and Independence with out telling me, I will be so MAD. I am only an hour away from there. But if not, then you are off the hook.

  2. Beautiful pictures! I have always wanted to do a Church history tour. I'm totally jealous. I'm also totally jealous of your hair. It's so long and pretty. It looks like you had a lot of fun. I had no idea oxen were so big. I mean it makes sense but they are seriously huge and kind of scary.
