Girls Week

Ryan was away for an entire week to Cleer Creek. So Brianna, Alyssa and decided to play.  We did various things throughout the week like tennis, movies, yummy bagel hunting and shopping for an entire day at the mall.  Brianna is a dedicated shopper and self proclaimed "girly girl" so we came home with cute hair accessories and outfits for all.  It was a successful day.

One of the days we had to go to Salt Lake to Primary Children's Hospital for a Doctor Appt. for Alyssa.  So we decided to make a day of it.  We went to lunch at Ruth's Diner which is located up Emigration Canyon.  It has been there since 1930 and it is a quaint place with good food.  We dined outside under a canopy of trees and it was perfect.  Later we searched out Banbury Cross, a donut place that makes a cinnamon-sugar donut that daddy loves.  Afterwards we explored the Daughters of the Pioneers Museum.  I remember this as a kid, especially the 2 headed lamb.  It was quite an extensive museum and we saw all kinds of pioneer artifacts.  We even found displays about our relative Rebecca Winters.  We saw the Golden Spike that marked the meeting of the two railroads here in Utah. We saw the wagon that Brigham Young rode in when he arrived in the Salt Lake Valley.  And yes, the 2 headed lamb was also still there.  It was a nice day to spend with the girls.
