We stayed at my grandma Avis' house in Salt Lake. We had a lot we wanted to do while we were there. Michael had only been to Salt Lake once, just before entering the MTC so there was lots we wanted to show him.
One of the first places we visited was This is the Place Monument. It is a monument at the base of Emigration Canyon of those that helped the pioneers get to the Salt Lake Valley. It is right next to Pioneer Village which is set up to be like the city at the time it was settled. We spent some time there as well. It was really fun!
We also went to the Church History Museum, which is one of my favorite places. There is some great things to see there. Shannon came to hang out with us there as well!
Of course the most exciting day of the trip was the day we went to Temple Square. Michael and I went to a session at the Salt Lake Temple in the morning, and Tyaan met us there. Before we left Temple Square they were engaged. Afterwards we went to lunch at The Garden Restaurant which is at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and overlooks the temple. I took this cute picture while they were both making phone calls to announce the exciting news!
Believe it or not, this is really a window that overlooks the temple.
Later that day we went to the conference center. Michael had toured the building previously but hadn't been able to see the roof. It's beautiful, and there is a beautiful view of the temple from there as well.
It was such a great trip. On the drive home we were already deciding when we would be able to visit again. And my baby is getting married!!!
