So about a month ago I had a longing to get out of town. It was a nice day that made me want to be out and experiencing new things. So, I asked a friend if she wanted to do a Girls Weekend.
So Sabrena and I packed up and drove down to Salt Lake this weekend. The weather was GORGEOUS and we had a relaxing time. One of those weekends that just gives you time away from the rush and stress in your life. We had cool hotel rooms at great rates thanks to employee discounts and travel clubs. We arrived around 9 on Friday and went to dinner at Chilis. Saturday morning we met up with Sarah for breakfast at IHOP. After that we went and hung around temple square. We saw at least 8 couples who had just been married and were taking pictures. It was so busy there. We also went to the Legacy Theater and watched Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration. I cried. At the end with MOTAB singing Praise to the Man and the scene of Carthage jail, tears were streaming down my face. The Spirit was so strong. From there we went to the visitors center and went up to the statue of Christ. I fell so blessed to have been able to be there. My testimony was strengthened. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet. I know that Christ atoned for my sins and is the Savior. I feel so spiritually fed.
Later we went to Gateway Mall. It was so nice out. Sunny and in the upper 50's to low 60's. We did some shopping and enjoyed the sun and the gorgeous mall.
Saturday night we went to Chick-fil-a for dinner. I have seriously been craving it since coming home from Texas. I was so excited to have it and am excited I can have it again in 2 weeks. Afterwards we walked around Fashion Place (the mall chick-fil-a was in). We ended the evening with some swimming in the hotel pool.
Sunday we were a little lazy. We got out of the hotel around 11 am. Went by our friend Sarah's so Sabrena could see her place. We visited for a bit and then fueled and headed home.
Although we were pretty tired by the time we got home it was a great weekend and I totally enjoyed it.
