We drove to Payson and went to a temple session. That is such a beautiful temple! Then we drove to Highland to an airbnb we had rented. It was pretty nice with a pool and BBQ pit.
After putting away the groceries and looking around, we drove to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi for a concert of the Utah Symphony.
We parked, stood in line and then went to stake out our seats. We had a blanket and small lawn chairs so we found a spot really close to the front. We decided to explore the gardens before picking up our picnic dinner.
I loved the gardens but my favorites were the Secret Garden and the Light of the World garden.
This one had beautiful bronze statues that depicted the life of Christ. They were amazing!
We picked up our dinners (which weren't very good and actually made me sick for a day) and ate while people watching. Then we went back to our lawn chairs to wait for the concert to begin.
We didn't realize that it was Gentry (the gentlemen trio) thatbwas performing accompanied by the Utah Symphony. We hadn't heard them before but it was a great concert that we really enjoyed.
The director was great and really fun to watch.
We went back to the airbnb for the night. Then on Wednesday morning, we went to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple for a session. The Jordan River Temple is closed for remodeling so it was super busy. But it was a pretty temple. We had taken the kids through in 2009 when they had the open house so it was fun to see it again.
We changed, ate lunch, talked to the owners of the airbnb (nice people who loved in Livermore, CA for 40 years) and then we went exploring around and to the Purple Store (I want one of their mattresses). We went back and swam in the pool where we were staying, ate dinner, and went to a movie.
Friday morning we woke up, went to the Draper Temple and then headed home. It was a fun trip and just what we needed to get away.
