| The view from our hotel room in Salt Lake City. The whole family joined Jess on a work trip to Utah. We took a tour of the LDS Museum of Church History and Art, attended a session at the SLC Temple, ate at the Lion House, and strolled around Temple Square. We had a wonderful time visiting with the McDonald's, with Kala (who happened to be in town for his mother's surgery), and with Jess' Pappy. Finally, we attended the baby blessing of Jess' 2nd cousin and enjoyed our time with the Maurer's. |
