Salt Lake City

We have travelled along the highwas past Salt Lake City many times, and decided it was time to actually stop and visit.  There is a lovely KOA right in the middle of town, not very far from Temple Square.
I had a little accident with a Jack Knife during our lunch stop in Idaho, (blame my clutziness and Sean's love of knives) but we delayed going to the clinic because the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practices on Thursday evenings, and that experience couldn't be missed.  They were so beautiful to listen to, and it was only a rehersal!!  They have a huge hall in the conference centre with amazing accoustics!
The temple is beautifully lit up at night, and the nearly full moon added to the ambiance.  There were flowers everywhere, and the smell was amazing.  The original Tabernacle where the choir first began is quite impressive as well.
After walking around Temple Square we ventured off to find the hospital.  Two hours, two stitches, and a tetanus shot later, I was all good and back home to the trailer we went!!
Tomorrow is Pioneer Day here, which is a huge Mormon Holiday, and a good reason for us to leave town!!
Moab, here we come!!
