We loaded up and left the house about 10:30 this morning. Princess and The Frog spent yesterday and today with us and they were headed downtown as well for a little "Babymoon," or the last opportunity to get away together before baby comes. Can you believe they are only about 6 weeks from holding their little Tadpole in their arms?
But I digress...
We were hoping to meet up with them, but our schedules didn't cross and they went off to their hotel while we headed for Temple Square. We got there just before noon and since Grandpa didn't go on duty until 1:00, we decided to walk through City Creek and see the fountains and have lunch.
An hour and some Chinese food later and we were on our way to the JSM building. It took us a few minutes to find Grandpa and we had to wait for him for another 10 minutes before he could go with us, but then we got an amazing tour that included several floors, classrooms, and dining rooms. My favorites were the chapel and the Legacy Theater. We watched a new church history film about David Whitmer and his role in the restoration. It was awesome!
We said goodbye to Grandpa after that and we made the long walk back to the van. We managed to get out of town just ahead of traffic, finishing off the perfect tour.

Wow, I loved that you had Grandpa take you on a tour. I imagine it was extra special. We haven't seen the new movie; so that will be an adventure at some point. Loved this one!
