2011 Christmas by Gwen


Last Christmas, our family went on a small trip to Salt Lake City. We spent a night downtown just a few weeks before Christmas.  We just went there for one day, but it was still fun!

First we went to the Marriott to check in.  The lobby was really nice and I really liked how they had stores and shops.  We went by to take a look at the pool and it looked like fun.  Our room was a perfect size and we could see the new City Creek Shopping Center from our room.  The room was big enough that it didn’t feel crowded.

Next we went to dinner at the Olive Garden.  It is only a block away from our hotel.  It was really good.  I always like the Olive Garden.  But it was really hot and there were a lot of people there. 

Then we walked to a Trax station.  Trax is a train system in Salt Lake.  We took Trax to Temple Square.  There were millions of Christmas lights and it was really cool.  We stayed there for a half hour.  We started getting cold and went back to our hotel.  On the way back, we bought hot chocolate.

The next morning we went downstairs to the lobby and we went to Starbucks and I got the breakfast cinnamon bun and it wasn’t as good as it looked.  Then we got our swimsuits on and went down to the pool.  While mom went running in the gym, dad, Mason and I went swimming.  The pool is indoors.  It was really fun, but after a while, it got a little crowded for the small pool.  Finally, we packed-up and left.

We had lots of fun.  It would be a fun tradition to do every year.  I think it would be great trip for all ages.
