We actually made it back to our hotel
BEFORE the witching hour.
Kyle was pleased about that...
He stopped in the little breakfast room at the hotel
and grabbed a set of silverware and headed
to his room to eat his leftovers from
Texas Roadhouse the night before.
Rod and I headed to bed!
(Well, after Rod ate his peach...)
We all slept in.
I don't think I got up until nearly 8.
We decided to forego the $50 iHop breakfast
and headed into downtown Salt Lake where
Rod found a Marathon gas station to fill
the rental and we each got a burrito.
They really are good!
And then we headed to Temple Square.
The traditional photo...
Even with the smoke in the air
(from the California fires)
the sky was beautiful and the
reflecting pond was gorgeous!
They have started wiring the trees for the
Christmas lights, and then lots of the
branches broke in the storm.
Only hanging on by their lights!
Lots of the bedding plants looked sad.
But there were teams of young gardeners
pulling out the old and getting ready to replace
it with the fall plantings.
Crab apple?
Whatever they were, there were a bunch of
them and they were all LOADED!
We picked a ripe-ish looking one and
dug into it with our fingernails.
It smelled like apple...
And then it was time to leave.
Salt Lake City got a new airport.
And the opening day was yesterday!
We were some of the first people to use
the new airport!
Of course, only Delta is flying out of the
new terminal, so we dropped off our car in
the new rental return (fancy and VERY easy),
checked in and checked our bags
(fancy and VERY easy)
and then walked a MILLION miles
(literally a full mile)
to the old terminal to the furthest gate
possible (F-20) to catch our flight.
Since we saw on the news that morning that
it was the grand opening for the new airport,
we made sure to get there plenty early
just in case...
So we had lots of time to sit and watch the
other people, nap, charge our devices, etc.
Good bye Salt Lake!
Until next time!
Oh.
So anyway.
We aren't mask wearing people usually.
Of course, they are mandatory in the airport
and while on the plane.
Some people were pretty lax about it,
and then there were others who were wearing
TWO masks at the same time!
Or even a mask AND a face shield.
Kyle and I were laughing about it when
I glanced over and saw this....
Is that SERIOUSLY a person with a bag on their head????
It was MOVING!
Turned out it was something on the lady's stroller.
But we laughed and laughed and laughed!
Made it home a little ahead of schedule,
everything at the house looked great,
Jim did a fabulous job taking care of everyone
and everything.
The dogs were happy to see us.
And we were happy to sleep in our own beds.
