Salt Lake City

During the time we lived in Mendon, I don't remember ever taking the opportunity to really see SLC.  Every time we traveled south, we had a very specific purpose or event that we were headed to, and we never managed to fit in any sight-seeing time.  Isn't that crazy how you miss the things that are right under your nose?  This weekend, we had planned to visit some of our SLC family, and we had a few hours to spend downtown just wandering and being tourists.  The kids are old enough now to really appreciate and enjoy some of the beautiful architecture and Church History.

I LOVED the quilt exhibit

 

and the girls loved making their own quilt squares on the giant white board.

 TCD found a cute furry friend in Lehi's tent.

 This Angel Moroni actually stood on top of a chapel in Washington DC.  He's about 24" shorter than the one on the SLC Temple.

We had an absolutely fantastic day and everyone LOVED seeing SLC close up instead of just from the freeway.
