Kirtland

We needed a little break from Ann Arbor life, so we headed over to Kirtland, Ohio, which is near Cleveland. We stayed at a weird weird Holiday Inn Express in downtown Cleveland. Usually we LOVE these hotels, but this one was downright strange.










The first Latter-day Saint temple was built in Kirtland. Although the church no longer owns it, and it slightly differs from modern temples, it still is a special place to remember where the early Saints lived and struggled. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!





Down the street is a renovated historic downtown Kirtland that the church does own. They have an old-fashioned store, mill, houses, etc.










These faces are funny :)
