Salt Lake City Temple trip :)

hello again and happy father's day to our wonderful dads :)
So yesterday we got to do something super cool that I've always wanted to do..go to the Salt Lake temple!!

Adam hates driving up to Salt Lake and parking there so we decided to drive up to Sandy and take the Trax the rest of the way (reminiscent of those glory days of Adam as a missionary taking those England trains). 
I have taken the Trax twice before and every time I'm super scared that I'll end up in some random place and not know how to get back.
So we decided to go to the both Visitors' centers first which was nice because they weren't super busy (which almost never happens when I've gone in the past).

Then we went to find the entrance :) holy smokes there were a TON of brides!! Not gonna lie, it made me appreciate how there was only one other person getting married on the day that I did. Much less stress when everyone's not vying for good picture spots. Anyways, it was so cool inside!! Everything was so old and ornate! We went into four different rooms before going into the Celestial room and they were all gorgeous. The murals on the walls of three of the rooms were incredible. If you aren't able to go inside the Salt Lake temple, you gotta at least check out the South Visitors Center. They have a model of the temple that is cut out showing all of the rooms. I was amazed at how accurately they have everything in each of the rooms after seeing the inside. Like a little dollhouse :) and the Celestial room was of course gorgeous, so ornate and old. Also, for those who don't know, they do the endowment session differently in this temple. I'm pretty sure the only other temple that does it that way is the Manti temple. It was an incredible experience to see it done that way and I learned a lot. All in all, it was a great trip :)
