Salt Lake City Weekend

Last weekend we loaded up and headed to Salt Lake City, Utah to celebrate our 5th anniversary and Zack's first Father's Day. It was a spur of the moment trip that was well worth the 4 and a half hour drive (one way). This was also the first time we've been on an interstate and in traffic since we moved here. Haven't missed that. The first day it rained so we were forced to shop ALL DAY! We stopped in Park City, UT which is the cutest little place-apparently a huge ski town. (I was looking for Jon Gosselin everywhere-but thats another story!) It was so fun to stay in a nice hotel, eat at our favorite restaurants and do some serious shopping-oh yeah, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The next day we visited the famous Temple Square which is where the Mormon church is based. It was absoulutely gorgeous and very interesting to see. We took a tour through some of the buildings and learned a lot of the history of this religion that is so prominent out here. Although we disagree with most of their beliefs, the people there were so welcoming and polite. We also checked out Great Salt Lake which is huge but not quite like the lakes and beaches in AL. However, Utah is beautiful! I wonder if these people in the Sonic drive-thru even realize whats around them? This just shows you how we take for granted God's beauty all around us. (Don't take your Sonic's for granted though...yum!)
