June 28, 2008 Going Home Via Cove Fort

So my luxury 2-week vacation is over, and I don't know when we will get to take such an extended vacation again since Alex got his new job in Springville and will no longer be traveling. I'm a little sad about it because as hard as it was to have him gone M-F, the "free" vacations were a really nice perk.

On our way home we stopped at the church historic site, Cove Fort. Alex and I stopped there once before year ago, before we had kids, and I absolutely loved it. But I love historic sites and this is a really well done one, of course all the church owned sites that I have seen are in excellent condition. The barn at Cove Fort is especially cool because it is constructed completely out of wood parts, no nails or bolts or metal beams to hold it together and totally historically accurate. They missionary told us that the only people the church could find to construct the building were the Amish, because the type of construction is nearly a lost art. I just think that is so cool. Anyway if anyone has never stopped by and has the chance I totally recommend it. Here are some pics from our visit.
