Real Salt Lake

Yesterday we asked Carla for a “must do” before we leave SLC. She recommended we head out to Silver Lake and take a walk around the lake. But on our way, we should hit up Alpha Coffee before heading up to the lake.

We woke, got ready, slowly, and headed out. The coffee shop was good and we were on our way. The road led us beside a small creek and some beautiful mountain scapes. I have to say that the drive was some kind of beautiful. Upon arriving at the lake, we put on our extra clothing, hat and we walked along the boardwalk as it passed through the grasses and water. We would hoping for at least a glance of a moose, but no luck.

After the lake we took a side road that led up to a pass I’ve the next mountain. We navigated through hairpin turns, as we climbed an additional 4000ft. I was enjoying the excursion, well I would have enjoyed it more if Dana wouldn’t have squeezing the hand grip so tightly I was waiting for the blood to begin to flow. It would have been better if she hadn’t need groaning, gasping and other odd noises.

After climbing to the mountain, took several pictures and then headed back down. We returned to the house and took naps. After our naps, we headed to a place called spilled milk. It was ice cream mixed with a cereal your choice. It was a fun experience.

We returned to the Temple Square and walked around the facility until we found the tabernacle. We went out and enjoyed the quietness of the space. We left the tabernacle and right across the street was the genealogy facility. We went in and soon an older gentleman that explained how to use the equipment. So this was fun.

We had ordered a pizza to take back to the house and arrived just way more pizza than we needed.

After the pizza we headed out for a professional soccer. The weather was awesome and Salt Lake City won 3-2.

It was such a good but we plan to head out after several great days here.Read more
