We parked at the Planetarium since we're very familiar with that parking garage and have a bunch of validations and took the train the rest of the way.
As we waited for the train the full moon was just rising and it looked cool passing behind the buildings. I'm glad we had this to occupy us since the wait was long and it was super cold. When the train arrived it was already packed. We were standing by the door holding on to each other. At the next stop even more people got on. So many people.
It was nice once we got to the square though. We had a quick stop in the tabernacle to warm up a bit.
I haven't been in there since the renovation and I have to say it looks good. Not quite as tight a fit as before.
The lights were beautiful and I even ran into an old friend from Orem who was there for a concert. Good times.
It was very crowded though, and I think we would have stayed longer had that not been the case.
The boys had fun, although I wonder if Brigham's hand hurt from me holding onto him so tightly.
The train ride back was much better and some of us even got to sit down.
I would like to do this every year, but I think I'm going to have to do some research and find out the least busy day of the season.
We go every year. And we haven't gone yet. I am 100% sure it will be VERY crowded any night this week, but that is OK. My new kids have never been. Ever. I can't wait for them to see it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture of the moon.
I think that the closer to Christmas, the busier! Especially on a weekend. We went the first part of December and it wasn't bad at all. I love the pictures. It looks like you had fun despite the cold and crowds!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. We went for the first time in years this year too. Didn't manage any pics though, I was just happy to avoid any bathroom accidents
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to ride the front runner into salt lake, I need to do it somewhere. Love that first picture!! So cool. Hope you are doing well.
