Salt Lake City, Utah Vacation


We decided to go to Salt Lake City, Utah for our vacation
this year.  We stayed at the Sheraton in Downtown 
Salt Lake City.  

Here is a picture of the hotel (taken from their
website)  I forgot to take a picture while I was there.

Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel - Exterior

The night we arrived, we decided to go out to dinner, but
didn't want to pay $6-$10 for parking so we decided 
to walk to the restaurant.  It had been raining
off and on, and when we decided to walk it
started raining a lot.  After stopping and checking
out a few places we decided to eat at PF Changs.

Here is a picture of the horse that is the mascot
of PF Changs....


And a picture of Nathan after he dried off a little
bit : )


The next day we decided to go to City Creek 
Shopping Center.  It is a really neat outdoor shopping center 
and then the part that is in a building has a roof that can be
retracted to let the sunshine in when it is nice outside.
Unfortunately, it rained off and on while we were there
so they did not open the roof.


Here are a couple pictures of the fountains
that are in the center of the shopping area.






Below is a picture of the Mormon Temple.  It was
just down the block from the shopping center.


I took a fun picture of Nathan as he was taking a picture
of the area.  We are on the 2nd level at an outdoor 
seating area for the food court.


We decided to take a break from shopping and
get a coffee at Kneaders : )



We are standing on the 2nd level so I took a picture
of the area where the fountains are at...


Nathan has been promising to take me to 
The Cheesecake Factory so we decided
to start out with dessert before we had dinner.


We split the Adams Peanut Butter Fudge
Cheesecake ( I can't remember the exact 
name)  Here is a picture of it...It was so 
delicious!!!


There are several different kinds of cheesecake
to choose from, we had a difficult time trying
to decide which one we wanted to try.


We had a great time for the couple of days
that we were in town.  These were just a few of 
the highlights that I remembered to take pictures.

Here is where we ate breakfast at...It is across the 
street from a park.  It is just a house that someone 
turned into a restaurant, but it has delicious food.
Try it out if you are ever in Salt Lake.

As we were leaving town to head home I took 
a picture of the mountain with all the different colors
and the railroad in front of it. 


I couldn't resist taking a picture of these road signs.
We saw them when we drove into town, but it
was raining and I couldn't get a picture of them.


The first sign says "Drowsy Drivers next Exit
3 1/2 miles Fatigued Driving Not Allowed"


Just a short ways down the road the sign says 
"Drowsy Drivers Pull Over if Necessary"
This is the first time I have seen road signs 
telling someone Drowsy Driving is not
allowed in their state.  We thought it was
pretty funny so we had to take a picture of them.


I hope you enjoyed seeing some of our vacation with
us.  There are a lot of things we will have to see
next time we go to Salt Lake City, but if you
are ever down there check out City Creek Mall.

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime?  I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed.  I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born.  He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation.  He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born.  Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own.  It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also.  I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born.  I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born.  That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there to take care of them. I know that I know tha

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious metals that we have without the trials of g

Mustard Seed Faith

With Easter coming up soon I have been thinking about the Cross of Jesus.  Most people know what the cross stands for, no matter what religion or non-religion that people have, but I have been thinking about the fact that we can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross.  Now, I have heard that phrase throughout my life, but lately I have really been pondering it.  Do we ever truly lay our burdens down at the feet of Jesus and leave them there? My family has had a lot of health issues lately and sometimes it can be a struggle to have the faith to get through situations that you have no control over.  My mom and I recently were talking about how we are the type of people who always want to control a situation or at least to be able to problem solve when something goes wrong.  It is so difficult to sit back and know that there are no solutions to some problems.  However, I know that with the faith of a mustard seed, God can still change the outcome.   Have you ever seen a mustard see
