JB's Restaurant - Road Trip Oh Nine

JB's is where you eat only because of it's proximity to Temple Square.

For tradition's sake, the kids have to climb here.


Spencer vs. the empty cup. And the winner is......

Joseph Smith Memorial Building with Nana

Nana Giving us a Tour of her Mission

My mom works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. She took us upstairs to check out the view.

Spencer is physically and mentally unable to keep his hands out of water.


Everywhere we went or looked there were brides getting their pictures taken.


Isn't that a great view!

I love this pic.. families are forever you know. :)

Nana's Church History Mission

For her mission, my mom works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building training other missionaries to use the computers. Then those missionaries help visitors use the computers in the Church History Building to find their ancestors.

Sydney looking up everyone she can think of.

Looking up a great uncle of mine, I got choked up reading from a journal of a member of his battalion. Start reading at the paragraph "Sunday 13th."

My little brother Kevan's FamilySearch record.

He was killed in a car accident because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. Let's just say I'm the seatbelt enforcer.

First Night with Nana - Road Trip Oh Nine

Nana is serving a Family History Mission in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is staying in a one bedroom apartment across the street from the Conference Center and Temple. Every time I go outside I am in awe of the majesty of the Temple.

Nana, is taking us to her apartment. It rained a lot when we first arrived in Utah. Thank goodness I packed ponchos in my 72 hour kit.


Everyone goes to bed really early here, so we had to keep the volume down. That's why Sydney's so close to the TV.


The nails were part of an object lesson about how anything is possible. Spencer thought they were better suited between his toes..
