O' Pioneer!

Daddy has been running the shop in Bryn Mawr all week (blog post to come about that), so Poppy and Momma were left to their own devices to fill their days with adventure! We started with something familiar to our Utah roots, a visit to the Mormon Pioneer cemetery--which happens to be next to the Winter Quarters museum! Brittany's side of the family will likely find this interesting, we hope the rest of our readers do too.

Here is a little blurb taken from Wikipedia, regarding the Winter Quarters, for those that are unfamiliar.

"Winter Quarters was an encampment formed by approximately 2,500 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as they waited during the winter of 1846–47 for better conditions for their trek westward. It followed a preliminary tent settlement some 3½ miles west at Cutler's Park. The Mormons built more than 800 cabins at the Winter Quarters settlement. Located in present-day North Omaha overlooking the Missouri River, the settlement remained populated until 1848."

The museum was similar to those that we've seen in Utah, but still fun to scope out. 

Poppy seemed to really enjoy our outing!
