To Grandma's House We Go- Thursday and Friday

We had the awesome opportunity this weekend to go and see Grandma Necia in Salt Lake City. She's currently serving a family history mission on Temple Square, and we were able to go and see her for spring break. The original plan was to drive up on Friday, but we left Thursday to drive to Idaho Falls and beat the obligatory Easter snowstorm. Thursday night was unremarkable except for the fact that we stayed in, arguably, the smallest hotel room in the continental US.

When we arrived in Salt Lake City Friday, we met Gram at the Church Office Building for lunch with her in the employee cafeteria. After lunch we got to see her office in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, then we left her to get back to work and toured temple square. Max spent the afternoon blowing kisses to the sister missionaries (he's learning young!) and enthusiastically shouting "Jesus!" every time he saw a picture of Christ. Right before meeting back up with Grandma we took the world's longest tour of the Conference Center. It was so inspiring seeing the original artwork that is in the scriptures and in our meetinghouses. It was beautiful and the theater itself is awe-inspiring.

That evening we went to Trolley Square for dinner at Spaghetti Factory and then fell into bed, very glad we had decided to leave the night before. Spending an extra day with Grandma was well worth the extra effort.
