We went with Elder and Sister Wright to the Philadelphia temple on May 5th. Very beautiful with colonial carpets, furniture, and lighting.
We also went to the National Archives on May 12th. We were not allowed to take pictures, but saw one of the four remaining Magna Charters in the world, the original Declaration of Independence, Article of Federation, and The Constitution. We saw original letters written by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We saw an 1879 census of Idaho's Shoshone County, reporting 4,000 Chinese living in Shoshone County, Idaho, which at the time was 28% of the population of Idaho. We saw the final payment made by Charles Ingalls in Dakota Territory for his 154 acre farm. Three of the Little House series took place there. We listened to the first voice recordings of Theodore Roosevelt. And, much, much more.

The Rotunda where the most precious documents are.
Of course, it is never this empty when open, but wanted to
show the murals and the beginning of the dome. It was
very beautiful.
