A fun weekend in Nauvoo

My brother Thad came out for the weekend. The Air Force has him studying in Ohio right now so he decided to drive down for a visit. We got to go and see Uncle Lynn and Aunt Sharon at "Rendezvous". They have been doing it so long now I think they have become one of the best casts we have ever seen. We had a great time.
We went over to Sylvia's restaurant "McKee's". She just opened this week and the food is amazing. She was opened at Annie's Custard shop all winter and everyone loved her food so now she has opened her own place right across the street from the Allyn House on mulholland street in Nauvoo. We had the "Porter Rockwell" sandwich. It is the best sandwich I have EVER had!!
It was a lot of fun seeing everyone. The place seems to be a real hit. I hope they do well. They sure work hard at it. I am impressed that everything they cook there is from scratch and all of her soups are gluten free and I guess she makes an amazing vegetarian sandwich too.
We ran into the Hardles there. They are the owners of the Nauvoo Log cabins. Lori loves the fettuccine and the Nauvoo bread.
We also went to Lacey's Track meet. She took 3rd place in the 1600 meters. It rained lightly all morning and then it poured all afternoon. It didn't matter though. We had a great time. Thad hung out with the girls and talked and talked. They had such a great time. He went home today and we were all really sorry to see him go. He is a pretty cool uncle.

The temple is closed this week and next for maintenance. They are replacing some of the carpets and we are resurfacing some of the marble. I love working through shut down but I will be really happy when the temple opens again.
