I Love Saturdays - SLC Trip

We decided to take a drive up to Salt Lake City.
When we first arrived, we stopped at a great little place called Moochies.
We found out about it on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.
They serve authentic cheesesteaks, meatballs subs, and hoagies.
They also have Birch Beer on tap, and Tasty Cakes of all flavors!
It was like being back in Jersey for lunch!


Afterwards, we headed to the Conference Center.
Tours are available daily, and we were lucky enough to get a condensed one, 
since they usually run an hour, but our little ones don't have that long of an attention span yet.
It's a beautiful building.
Sheri and I got to see the Relief Society broadcast there last year,
but it had been so long since I had last had a tour, that I learned a lot.

A Sandblasted mural on the rooftop garden


The West Rooftop garden filled with plants to represent the valley


A rooftop fountain in the East Garden, which represents the mountains


View of the Capital





View of the Temple





Then it was across the street to Temple Square.
As always, there was so much to see, and it was full of people.
We counted 6 new brides!
