Road Trip 2008

Last Thursday Mom and Dad Peterson flew in to visit us here in Indiana. Shortly after their arrival we hit the road to visit Jared's Grandparents who are serving a mission in Adam-ondi-ahman. We spent the day with them on Friday and it was so much fun. We visited a lot of church sites in the area such as Adam-ondi-ahmen and the temple site in Far West. We also spent some time visiting a small Amish village nearby. It was great to be able to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and we had a ton of fun.
On Saturday we headed to Nauvoo. Jared and I visited a couple of historical sites before heading over to the Nauvoo temple to do a session. It was great to be able to go to the temple. Mom and Dad took the kids around to a few more historical sites while we were in the temple. It was really neat to be in Nauvoo and I wish we could have spent more time there.
We headed back home Saturday evening as Jared and I had to be back to Elkhart by Sunday because of our callings. We rested a bit on Sunday and then today we hit Notre Dame. Jared gave Mom and Dad the grand tour of campus and I think they enjoyed it.
It has been great having Mom and Dad here visiting with us. Landon and Torilynn love all the extra attention that they get from the grandparents and I am sure they will be super sad when Thursday rolls around and Mom and Dad have to leave. I am so grateful for the wonderful family we have and I wish that we could see them more often.
