On our way back to the airport we stopped at the Winter Quarters visitor center. It is a really special place. You can feel the spirit of those early pioneers as you tour the visitor center and the cemetery. There was a monument with the names of all those who perished during that time. My sister in law pointed out how many of those lost were babies and it reminded me of the struggles and trials the early saints had to endure. I am certainly grateful for all that they sacrificed so that we can have the gospel today and be able to worship how we choose. I feel forever indebted to them.
Just in case there was any question as to how exhausted our kids were, this is how Ashlyn spent her time in the visitor's center...on the floor throwing tantrums.
Aren't we glad that this is not our method of transportation? I was certainly born in the right time period. 
Winter Quarters Temple.
And that concludes our trip to Nebraska.
We had such a fun time with the Drapers and sure wish we could see them more often. We love and miss you guys!!! Thanks for a great trip.
