On a side note, a few weeks ago we really had an adventure and rode the Trax (light rail) into the city. The Trax station is just a five minute drive from our house. Parking in the city is at a premium, so riding the Trax was nice in that respect. Plus, the kids really wanted to see what the Trax was all about. Big Mister and the kids dropped me off at one stop for a conference I was attending and they went on for shopping and dinner at the Gateway.
Unfortunately, my camera battery died so I did not get all the pictures I wanted at beautiful Temple Square. Next time.
We went at the end of November before it got too cold. Big Mister’s Office is at the Gateway so we met him for dinner and then enjoyed the lights of the city.
The ever changing tree lights at the Gateway Mall.
In the forefront is the Olympic Legacy Plaza Water Fountain, a very popular spot for kids to visit in the summer. It’s actually fun to sit and watch the water spout up in choreography to the Olympic music.
See how it changes?
These next two pictures are from the top of two huge walls inside the Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot. It is no longer used as a train depot. We were there to visit a Christmas show. It’s such a cool old building.

Ps. For breakfast Little Miss wanted toast with a side of Christmas presents!
I’ll have that, too!
