The St. Louis Arch!
Due to unfortunate events, I had to wear Weston's shorts and apparently, they were too short (though sadly, they fit :P )! So don't judge me. Eek, that was a long day...! No, this pod did not take us to the mother ship. We couldn't resist a picture. This tiny white pea-pod thing took us up to the top of the arch!
We visited Kanesville, Iowa which holds historical reference to my life (where England immigrant, great-great-great Grandpa George Whitaker married his wife as they were crossing the plains), but to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (where Brigham Young officially became second Prophet and President). Pictured is the side of the tabernacle (a genius structure for its time and circumstance!).
Winter Quarters Visitor Center (where Weston's sister is serving her mission), the temple grounds (right off the Winter Quarters cemetery which is beautiful), and Liberty Jail are other places we had the privilege of visiting. Each place had a very reverent, solemn, and peaceful spirit. We were very touched by the many known and unknown lives that lived with faith, love, and believing hearts. One can't help but want to live a more devoted, Christ-like life.
