Utah - Part 2 of What I did last summer

Also in May, I got to go to Salt Lake City with Digital Scrapbook Memories as an instructor at their Scrapbook Retreat Weekend! April did an amazing job as host and I loved getting to know the members of this wonderful community.

This is Alisha :)
She is scrapbook instructor extraordinaire, and I love loved her rad haircut!


And, well, I knew Barb already :)
In fact, she was my roommate!

And this is Brooke. She loved the tree. aaaha ;)

We walked around downtown Salt Lake City and had a mini photoshoot...

Brooke was so natural and relaxed in front of the camera...
On the last day, April (center) took Kelly (left) and I on a tour, since neither of us had been to Salt Lake City before. First we went up this huge hill that overlooked the whole valley...
And then she took us to the beautiful Temple Square... I loved that even though neither Kelly or I were Mormon we could still walk around and explore most all the different areas. We could not go into the temple (which is reserved for sacred ordinances and practices), but we did get to walk around many other beautiful places.

I was really impressed with how incredibly clean and well-landscaped every area was. Volunteers were everywhere, working to keep the place looking in pristine condition.
When we were there, tulips were in full bloom...


The architecture was so beautiful! I loved this waterfall that came right out this building...

I was truly impressed with how absolutely beautiful everything was. The place was very peaceful, too. I think if I lived in Salt Lake City I would come to Temple Square for lunch a lot, just to enjoy the quiet beauty.
More from My Summer to come!
