Day 47: Exploring Salt Lake City

Monday
First things first, today is our wedding anniversary - 41 years. Thank you for a great forty one years.
We celebrated by going into Salt Lake City, but we did so much that I am going to split it into three blogs. Our visit to the Capitol Building, our visit to the Temple Square and lastly a surprise visit to a school.
So starting at the top we visited the Capitol Building (Easy to forget that SLC is the State Capital). The weather was absolutely perfect, so all our outdoors pics are lovely. We went into the Capitol and were given a short tour by a very nice docent, who told us a lot about the history of the state and the building. We were very impressed with the Capitol, it is built from a cool grey granite and is very light and airy inside. There are lots of pictures depicting Utah history, almost inevitably a lot of the images were about it's links with the Mormon Church (Church of the Later Day Saints - LDS) and Utah's Founding Father, Brigham Young.
After our visit there we used the State Capitol's cafe facilities to have a very nice lunch, very reasonably priced. We can recommend that when in SLC you eat there.
