"You likewise will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."

--President Hinckley, from a BYU speech: "Experiences Worth Remembering" given 31 October 2006

Our Trip to Fort Leonard Wood Jeremey graduation and our visit to Historic Nauvoo and Mount Rushmore

This is my great great great great grand mother that was in Nauvoo that made this trip what it was. This is Martha Bartholomew Vail she left Nauvoo 1846 and she came to Council Bluffs in 1848 stayed there and then 1851 came west . We found here records in Nauvoo and in Council Bluffs and in SLC What a neat story she has to tell. We are so lucky to have her as our great grand mother and the legacy she left for us.



















We are home after a incredible journey. We were able to visit Jeremey at his graduation in St. Roberts Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood then we went to Historic Nauvoo Illinois and was able to attend a session at the Nauvoo Temple was able to go to Carthage Jail and then up to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota then to Martin Cove in Wyoming what a trip, what a great time.
