Last weekend Paul and I, well mostly I and Paul obliged, decided to take a 4&1/2 hour trip across the glorious state of Iowa to Omaha, Nebraska. What's there you say? Winter Quarters! The trip out started out a little scary, lets just say when it rains here, it pours! Enough rain that I got to wondering: what exactly does one do if a tornado occurs while you're in the car? Thanks to the wonders of technology and the iPhone, I was able to learn that you NEVER try to outdrive a tornado... the moral of the story is, get out of the car and get into a sturdy building or to low ground and cover your head with your arms. Just FYI, in case you ever find yourself driving in rainy, thundery weather on the great plains of Iowa.
Winter Quarters was nice, I think I was expecting more from Church history sites considering that the only other one I'd been to was NAuvoo. We went through the visitor's center, walked through the Pioneer Cemetary and the went to the temple.

It is a really small church site. When we went we got an older brother missionary to give us the tour...so we learned ZERO information and it took FOREVER!
Oh! and thankfully you didn't run into a tornado!...and have your car break down and have to have a kind soul take you in for the weekend!
scary! I feel blessed by Idaho's boring weather (and non rats). Glad you had fun!
Hi Paul and Natalie!
Sounds like you are really getting a taste of the flavor of yur new neck of the woods!! Glad you were safe, and glad that you are having fun "Daytripping in the Midwest".
Dad would approve.
Love, Mom
Well sheesh I was there last weekend too! The spirit kept telling me to call you and I didn't! Lame lame lame. I love you both and wish you well. I am in Nauvoo right now and we are driving to Savannah tomorrow.
So awesome! I love the pictures! And that you guys had a great time and were safe!
