BYU and Salt Lake City

Never having been to this part of Utah as a family, Jason and I were excited to show our kids BYU (where we met!) and Salt Lake City. 

It was fun to wander around campus and see how much as changed, and that some things are just the same!

Some of the buildings have awesome things to look at!

And the bookstore held all sorts of souvenir options!

We went to some of the campus museums and had too much fun.

Lunch at the Creamery where mom did most of her grocery shopping Freshman year was one of their favorite parts.

The next day we toured the Temple grounds and visitor's center and really enjoyed the Spirit there.

We also took time to have a little fun with it all!

We couldn't see the organist behind the organ in the tabernacle so I joked it was a ghost and Jake was convinced I was right.

We also toured the conference center; the roof was a highlight. When we first got up there Jake said, "Um...I don't think this is really the roof!" Sure doesn't look like any roof I've ever seen! So pretty.

You really get a feel for how big it is when you see it from the top!

This is one of my favorite pictures from the whole trip: vacationing is hard work!
