City Creek Center

Our family likes downtown Salt Lake City.  We go there a lot to visit Temple Square, ride on TRAX, go to concerts, play in the fountains at the Gateway, stuff like that.  So for years we have been waiting for City Creek Center to be completed.  Abby said it feels like she's been waiting for it to open her whole life.  Well, it opened last month, and last week was spring break, so we stayed overnight Friday night and took the opportunity to go check it out.

Our verdict: it's amazing!  The design is incredible, the fountains and waterfalls are nice, the skybridge is cool, and the creek running down the middle is the best of all.  If we had our way there would be a few more restaurant choices and a few less high-end shops, but overall it is a great addition to the downtown area.

After a lot of shopping, we think Alex and McKay had had enough, so we spent some time at Temple Square.  We ALWAYS go watch the Mormon commercials in the South Visitor's Center, but they recently stopped playing them and ruined our tradition.  But now they play "I'm a Mormon" videos and those are good too.  These are the same ones that you can watch at mormon.org.  Anyway, it was a short spring break trip, but we had a great time.
