Temple Square

On the 23rd we went down to Salt Lake and saw the lights at Temple Square.  It wasn't terribly busy but it was fun.  Here are some pictures:

 These are some nativities that they had around the fountains by the church office building.

This is one of the many metal lanterns that they had lining the fountains.  They were pretty neat.

The trip was fun and we enjoyed seeing the lights.

My family came to visit this last week in July.  We went down to Salt Lake City and went through the temple as well as touring the Conference Center.  We also went out to dinner at The Training Table.  It was great fun.  Here are some pictures.

It was a fun couple of days.

Temple Square

This last Friday, Eddy and I went down and saw the lights on Temple Square with another couple. First we drove around trying to find a parking spot as well as getting through traffic because it was the same day as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert so traffic was HORRIBLE.

We walked from where we parked to Crown Burgers the food was good and I loved their fries.

Then we went to see the Christus statue in the visitors center.

Then we went to the nativity just outside the visitor's center but sadly the sound wasn't working so all we saw was the different lights being turned on and off. Ironically, the last time I came to Temple square to see the lights, the lights on the nativity weren't working but the sound was working. Oh well.

Then we walked around looking at the lights and things as well as taking pictures of the temple.

I found out that if you breathed right before taking your picture the camera will take a picture of your breath as well giving the picture a foggy look.

I like to take pictures of fountains because I think they are cool but this was way cool since you can see the steam from water rising.

Overall, the trip was fun though it was freezing. Maybe next year we will go earlier in the year before it gets to cold and to busy so that traffic will not be so bad.
