Utah Trip: Day 2

I'm beginning to think that this is going to be one of the best trips I've ever taken!  Yesterday was such a great day.  We started off by making Pancakes and Bacon for breakfast (mmm...), then took our time getting ready and helping out at Gretchen's before taking off.
We went to the bookstore (where I got 2 new Jack Weyland books...I'm so excited!), and then to In-n-Out Burger for lunch.  I have to admit it was an experience like nothing I've ever had before.  The menus only had about 5 choices, and there were probably 60 or more people inside the restaurant eating or waiting for their order.  It was crazy!  There were no tables inside, so we ate outside.  Fun Fact:  Did you know that the Burger wrappers and drinks all have scriptures written on them?  It was kind of neat.
After lunch we came back to drop off our bookstore treasures.  After meeting Gretchen's dad we were back on our way again.  We did a Mad Lib story on our way to downtown...and it was fun.
When we got to Temple Square it was even more amazing than I remembered it!  We reflected in the reflecting pool for a while waiting for Maddie to be done with her tunnel guy...and then just enjoyed some time all together.  We went to the JSMB (see...I feel like a local...I know all the cool abbreviations lol), took some cool pictures...and talked to a really interesting guy who told us a bunch of cool stories.
We took a tour of the Conference Centre next.  Saw the huge auditorium, some awesome artwork, and the super cool roof.  Then came the North Visitors centre to see the Christus...which was pretty much the most amazing thing ever.  We met some really nice Sister Missionaries there...from Tahiti and Samoa (I think).
From there we jetted off to Cafe Rio to meet up with Ryan and Kevin.  It was a blast, just enjoying talking to everyone and laughing together and having a great time.  We said goodbye to Maddie and Kevin there...and went off to find the Manor Massacre zombie movie production of Sicks.  It was pretty fun...and Ryan's date won a t-shirt as a door prize which was pretty awesome.  After the movie I returned Ryan's cds...Promise Kept!
It was late when we got home...but we still stayed up to watch an episode of Community...which seems like a pretty awesome show!
The new day is beginning, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it holds...
