Three States Later...

We are settling into our hotel near Sandusky, Ohio tonight.  It has been a long day, but we are very happy.

We started the morning at 7:30 at the Nauvoo Temple.  We were the first group into the baptistry and enjoyed the peaceful spirit of the temple.  The font in the Nauvoo Temple is very large.  I felt like I had to pick a spot to be.  It was a great way to start the day.

We then packed the van, checked out of the hotel and headed for Ohio.  It was a long slow drive.  The speed limits are slower, the roads aren't as good, and we encountered a lot of road construction.  About 30 miles from the destination, there was a problem ahead of us and we came to a complete stop.  Jennifer had flown into Cleveland and we were supposed to pick her up, but it was getting late.  We had her take a cab to our hotel and we got there just before she did.

We were very excited to see her, fresh off her trip to China with the Collegiate National Team.  We walked to a Subway up the block and enjoyed dinner together as a family.
