Our crazy, madcap tour of the Houses of the Lord (and Las Vegas!)

Ever since Emily was endowed in May 2007 (in preparation for our temple sealing on July 28, 2007), we have made a conscious effort to visit the many temples owned and operated by the LDS Church. The only rule we have is that a visit doesn't count unless we do attend an endowment session (we did make an exception once, only because the temple had not yet been dedicated).

Currently, we have been to more than 30 temples. Here's the list of temples we've visited together in chronological order, as of August 2010. (Josh also visited the Ogden Utah Temple shortly before entering the MTC in August 1999 and the Mexico City Temple in February 2007 while on a work-related trip to the Mexican capital; sadly, Emily was not with him on either occasion).
