Alec, Hewy and I flew into Salt Lake and Grandma Laura, Noble and Liam met us at the airport! So sweet to see our boys! From there we went directly to Cinegrill, a restaurant that I have to eat at every time I am back in Utah. The Kristensen's, or "K's" as my kids shortened their name some time ago, met us there. After filling my tummy with the yummiest salad and hot corned beef ever, we drove to This is the Place Monument/Park.
We wanted to bookend our Nauvoo trip. If you remember as we left Nauvoo we drove down the road that the Saints left Nauvoo from to cross the Mississippi on their trek west. So we wanted to start our time in Utah together at the place where the Saints entered the Salt Lake Valley and where Brigham Young saw Ensign Peak, the dome shaped mountain that he had seen in a vision. When they came out of the canyon, now appropriately named Emigration Canyon, he saw the dome shaped mountain behind what is now the capital, and declared, This is the Place!
