Convention Day 1

I'm back from Salt Lake City and the Stampin' Up! convention.  My head is FULL of ideas that I can't wait to share throughout the next months.  But first, let me share some pictures!

I flew in early and had most of the day to explore before needing to get down to business.  First thing? Food!  While it was only 11:00 SLC time, we had been traveling half the day already.  We found the Red Iguana, and knew everything would be amazing because it had been on Triple D (and Guy Fieri is always right!).  I had a strawberry mole dish that was killer.

After a quick ride on the tram, we explored City Creek and Temple Square.  Shopping and History, two of my favorite things!  The flowers in Temple Square were breathtaking and I loved all the water features.  I even toured the Beehive house, home to Brigham Young.  I had fun seeing how many places I could find a bee or a beehive carved in woodwork, in carpet patterns etc.  I definitely knew at all times that I was in the Beehive state, but loved learning the meaning behind it too!

 

Fun fact: Did you know that the Tabernacle where the Mormon Tabernacle choir rehearse is so acoustically sound that you can hear a pin drop at the altar from any point in the Tabernacle?

After sightseeing, Denise and I went to set up our display board for convention.  I felt a bit sneaky getting to see the gathering place before anyone else!  I think our board turned out great, don't you?
