Vacation Part5

As soon as we got into Salt lake we had lunch and went to Temple Square
 We walked around and then went in to get a tour of the Conference center....is was amazing, beautiful artwork, huge building really a fun tour for us, but it was a little long for the kids.
 This is on the roof of the conference center and when you look at it is shows your reflection with the other people etched in it!
 And here is the view from the other side- the beautiful Salt lake Temple!
 The kids loved the temple and there were a few brides around the temple grounds so we got to talk about Temple marriage.
 This is at the Visitors center and Grandma Inman told them to find it when they were on vacation so they were so pleased with themselves and wanted to call her right away to tell them they had seen it.
 One of the things they said about the conference center is that Gordon B. Hinkley requested that they seats be VERY comfortable- Here are the seats in the Tabernacle, can you imagine sitting on those hard wooden seats for 4 hours????
 This was at another visitors center- a cut away of the temple and all it's rooms

 Downstairs there were Tons of dioramas with videos with everything from scripture stories to the importance of the family- I could have spent ALL DAY there looking at everything, but after 3 hours the kids were antsy and wanted to go something more interactive...
