Labor Day Vacation

We got a new camera! We agreed it's my extra-early birthday present. For Labor Day, Dave and I drove to Kansas City, Missouri to go to a Royal's game. We are slightly loyal Royal's fans as a result.
While there, we also stopped by some Mormon history sites: Independence = Garden of Eden and future site for Zion, Liberty Jail = where Joseph Smith spent 6 months during the winter while the Mormons were being driven from Missouri, and Adam Ondi Ahman = The place east of Eden "where Adam dwelt" after the fall.

We didn't get a chance to visit some other church sites: cemeteries, famous people's houses, Far West, Haun's Mill, or Zion's Camp, but we hope to if we go to Kansas City again. We were able to visit the temple at Independence by the Church of Christ, and it was neat to see their museum and their auditorium.
