We visited Carthage Jail where the Prophet, Joseph Smith, and his brother, Hyrum, were martyred. We watched a short video that quoted journals of people who had met the prophet, his friends, and his family. We then went into the jail and saw where the jailer and his family lived, the cells, and the room where the prisoners were attacked. We listened to an audio recreation of the events there, including the singing of "Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief", which got me teared up. You could easily feel the solemnity of the site.
We then drove ALL day. Lex took a turn driving and did really well. We stopped in the middle of Illinios and had some juicy, delicious burgers at a place called Meatheads.
We drove through Illinios, Indiana, and Ohio and finally made it to Springfield, OH, our stop for the night.
