Staycation

On Monday we surprised the girls with a stay cation trip to Salt Lake City.  The girls were so excited.  We checked into the hotel and headed straight up to temple square.  We first stopped at the Church History Museum.  It was really special to me and Nick and the girls loved it too.  Then we went to the Discovery Center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  Mom and Dad joined us there.  It was pretty neat and the kids loved to use their magnifying glasses to "discover" their history.  Then we looked around at the beautiful lights, had dinner at Olive Garden and swam in the pool.  When we got back to the room we watched a Christmas movie and went to sleep.  The next morning was breakfast and swimming in the pool again.  Then we watched some TV and went to see the window displays at Macys.
