Post - Christmas SLC Trip

Today I took a quick trip to Salt Lake to celebrate my adopted aunt Joi's birthday. It was glorious fun! I went with my mom, my dad, and Joi (who has become a new member of the family over the past year). We drove down to Ogden, and then hopped on the Frontrunner. I always enjoy riding Frontrunner. I have been a fan of trains for a long time, and have dreamed of living in a city where you could commute to work on a train or subway! Maybe one day. Until then, I'll have to settle for riding the front runner once a year or so!

After we arrived in Salt Lake I was introduced to my newest love:

P.F Chang's! Oh my goodness! How have I never gone here before? I have heard of the restaurant, but never been overly curious because Chinese food isn't my very favorite thing. What I didn't realize is that this is Americanized Chinese at it's very best! I did not try a single thing that I did not LOVE (and I tried A LOT of things!) My very favorite being these:

Lettuce wraps! I LOVED these. The layers of flavor were amazing. The crisp lettuce made them refreshing and light. I could eat these all the time. I am glad there is not a P.F. Chang's closer, or I would probably spend way too much money there!

After P.F. Chang's we wandered around Boarder's for a while as I contemplated Nook Accessories. We then headed to Temple Square.

I am always a fan of Temple Square. I think it is beautiful, especially at night. Adding Christmas lights to temple square only enhances the magic!

I forgot to change my camera back to a normal setting before we took this picture. I can't decide if it is cool or creepy:

Whichever it is, I decided we needed a more normal looking picture. So I fixed the setting and we tried again!

It was an abnormally warm December night, and since it was after Christmas there were less people (even though it was still crowded) which made for ideal wandering-around-temple-square conditions!

We then hopped back on the Frontrunner and headed home. What a way to end the holiday season!
