Day 39 - May 4, 2008

Sunday Sight Seeing

I went with Jen, and my mom to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast in the morning. After we did some sight seeing all over Temple Square. I seem to learn something new about that place every time I go.

One thing I learned about was where Brigham Young's graveside is. It was really close. We drove around and eventually were able to locate it. Wow... I won't go into much detail on this, but if you really want to practice you car stick shifting skills on hills, this is the area to do it. Luckily no one was behind me on some hills. We were able to quote the line in Princess Diaries when she was going up steep hills with her stick shift car. *FYI - I didn't jerk my car like her, or run into a trolley or bus or trax train.

We had dinner at my other grandparent's home. Jen and I were in charge of cooking it. We decided to just cook EVERYTHING we brought. This turned out to be A LOT of food for all of us. It was a really FABULOUS dinner though.

After we drove Jen to stay with her sister in law's home that night. As we drove we counted how many LDS churches you see from 6200 South to 7800 South. This is about a 1 mile stretch. We counted 5 churches. If we had traveled just 1/2 a block more we would have been able to count the 6th one.
