Weekend Downtown

We had a free night stay to use at any Marriott. As Christmas approached I decided it would be fun to use it to stay downtown and see the lights on temple square and then stay over instead of having to drive home. Thankfully my kids were all over their sicknesses in time for our stay. We started out the afternoon at Gardner Village.

They have elves around and a scavenger hunt to complete. We had fun walking around but it was so cold so we didn't last very long. Kaden tried on this furry hat outside one of the shops.


That night we met my family at the City Creek food court. We ate dinner and then bundled up in lots of layers. We looked at the candy windows, walked by the reflecting pond, past the fountains and then ended in the Joseph Smith building looking out from the top floor. It was short and sweet and perfect for three little kids on a cold night.


My kids aren't smiling in any of the pictures but don't let that fool you because they really did have a good time.


This was the view from our hotel room. We had fun watching the ice skaters and when the Zamboni cleaned the ice.


Betsy came over and we all went swimming. The pool was a little cold but that didn't stop my kids from jumping in.


It was such a fun weekend I'm hoping it can become a yearly tradition!
