After 4 days of glorious natural wonders, the Kims needed a little civilization. The novelty of nature trails had started to wane for poor little Ruby, and if Ed + I didn’t get some ethnic food into our bellies we were going to go insane. So we trekked up to northern Utah to see what the fuss about Salt Lake City was all about. The drive was long, but pretty – the white, snow-capped mountains with matching puffy white clouds along the way didn’t get old, but a stop at a McDonald’s indoor playground for an hour or so was still necessary to let Ruby climb, play and make a new friend. We ended up rolling into SLC in the late afternoon.
Anxious to get our bearings, we decided to walk to the City Library to explore. It was a win-win, Ed + I were floored by the architecture, and Ruby got to squeeze in some much-needed storytime.
We walked a bit more, grabbed some Vietnamese food for dinner, splurged on THE BEST frozen custard EVER, and ended the evening with a short drive to see a bit of the city by night.

We’ll see what SLC has in store for us tomorrow!
