Trip to Salt Lake City

We decided that instead of sending me on a bus to Salt Lake City, we would make a trip out of it.
Our original plan was to go to the Salt Lake Temple but it was under construction. Our trip also started out a little late. So we ended up only getting as far as Presto/Logan. We stayed and my Uncle Vernon's house. And the next morning we went to the Logan Temple. It was really pretty inside. 

Then we headed to Salt Lake City. Some of us may have been sleepy...

 Some of us were hungry and keeping each other company.
 We went and visited Temple Square. A lot of it was under construction, so we couldn't get very close
to the temple. We went into some of the visitors centers. I had forgotten how many centers there are 
and all the things there are to see. 







 We also visited City Creek (?) It was really pretty.
We looked into various shops, but our main goal was to find
food! We walked all over looking for Olive Garden.  Found out we had gone
the wrong direction and had to turn around. 

 The food was yummy and totally worth the walk (and the walk back)!

It was an adventure, our only map was one from the hotel, you know the kind they rip out of a
pad of paper and has lines drawn on it. So it was fun for those of us who don't have the city memorized!

My flight left mid morning. So they dropped me off that morning, helped me get my bags checked, and said good bye! What a fun few days! But I was probably ready to see Spencer and South Carolina!
