OUR FUN FOUR DAYS...

 Ron and I went north for a few days...We stayed at

this lovely place in Provo. It sits right by the Provo river

and it was so peaceful.

 There was a 5 mile walking path behind it and we

had a couple of awesome walks there.

 The path goes right along the river with several bridges

that cross the river.

 My Lemon grandparents used to fish this river

and I was always told how grandma could out

fish grandpa every time! One time she reeled a

big fish in, gave it a jerk, and it flew out of the

water and smacked grandpa right on the cheek!

Our suite was just lovely and we enjoyed every bit of it.

There was a copper roofed gazebo out back too.

Then we went on up to Salt Lake City to spend

a couple of days. This is the lobby of the

Joseph Smith building, it used to be the 

Hotel Utah for many years.

 The malls of Salt Lake City have all been joined together

to become "City Creek Mall"...

 This picture is what the shopping center of Salt Lake used

 to look like in the pioneer era, this was Zion's store.

 It looks much different now!

This beautiful temple looks much the same as when the 

pioneers built it. It took 40 years for them to get it done. As

I stand looking up at it, I always wonder...how did they do it?!

 City Creek Mall is so amazing! The huge glass

domed roof is retractable.

 Trees and city creek run all the way through the

 long mall. It's just all amazing!

 Sitting right across the street is Temple Square,

home of the beautiful temple and the Tabernacle Choir.

 It's just full of gorgeous flowers and trees and water 

fountains... Such a Garden of Eden.

The flower gardens are the best, I took my daughters

on a garden tour once, it was so interesting to see

how it is all done. In the Fall they add Lights to all

the trees for Christmas.

 We went on a tour through the Lion House and the 

Beehive House. I love seeing how the pioneers always

made something out of nothing, making life beautiful.

 I loved this entry light...

 and the beautiful handmade beds...

 We had dinner at the Lion House Pantry...

My favorite place to eat.

 A pretty dining room in the Beehive house...

 A beautiful handmade bookcase.

 Lovely entry mirror...

 I could live like this...

Gorgeous hand work in this stair banister.

 The way the Eagle Gate looked back then...

And how it looks now.

 The streets of Salt Lake are lined with so many pretty flowers.

 The Beehive House

 Love the old gates with the flowers.

The Lion House

 The Salt Lake Mormon Temple with the reflection pond,

I caught a newly married couple too!

 The ceilings in the Joseph Smith Memorial building...

 are just so...

breath taking!

 Brigham was right...this is the right place.

 I took these pictures of the temple from across

the street and up in the top of, The Roof at The Top.

Time spent in Salt Lake City is the best, we had so much fun.
