Traveling Alone...

We left Colorado a day early so that we could spend the afternoon/evening exploring Salt Lake City before our Thursday morning plane trip back to Maryland. I'm not sure if traveling by myself with three kids while 6.5 months pregnant was the greatest idea I ever had, but we all survived and managed to have a good time!!

Our first stop was to Temple Square. All the kids loved the statue of Christ...


I had wanted to take them up to touch the Salt Lake Temple, but the temple happened to be closed that day (maybe for cleaning?) so then we headed over to the Church History Museum which I had heard great things about. It did not disappoint!!

Abby loved dancing around in these huge Latin American skirts...

Nolan spent most of his time in the "garden" and making me all kinds of yummy "meals"...

And Landon really loved the fishing poles!

Afterwards we spent the night in a hotel next to the airport so we would have an easy time leaving the next morning. Unfortunately the air conditioning in our room was wonky and the kids were a bit wired so sleep wasn't that great. We were all able to get a bit of rest on the airplane trip though and they all did fantastic on the trip home. After two weeks of traveling, it was nice to sleep in our own beds again, but it didn't last for long...round #3 of vacation was just around the corner!!!
