Mini Trip to Salt Lake City, Utah
I had the opportunity to go to Salt Lake City for work for a couple of days. My flight was so short so that was awesome! Plus this mama had a small break and got to sleep on the airplane :). It was a short 1 hr and 20 min flight. As we were approaching our destination, I turned to the window and saw the most breathtaking mountain views covered in snow!! I had to quickly get my camera and snap some pictures.
Then a little bit went by and the lady next to me pointed out at more mountains covered in snow but were closer and full with snow!!
When I arrived to my hotel, I arrived a little early and it wasn't check in time, so I decided to walk to downtown. As a Californian, If the weather is below 70, its chilly lol. It was like 58 and windy. It took me about 20 minutes to walk to down town. I snapped a few pictures before walking to City Creek Center.
All the leaves from the trees have fallen but I can just imagine how much more beautiful the city looks in fall and spring. I loved that there was mountain views all around the city. So I finally arrived at City Creek Center. It is a beautiful outdoor/ Indoor mall with over 100 restaurants and stores. its on either side of the street. They have a glass bridge that connects and you can just walk across to get to the other side.
So let me tell you something funny that happened to me. I put the walking person in the maps so I would be able to get back to the hotel and I thought I was following the directions good but apparently I wasn't. I'm never using the walking mode again! lol. I ended up in the same spot 3 times!! haha..... I finally just didn't loo at the directions. After walking forever ( in rain boots) I was exhausted got to the hotel. I never take naps and I actually got to nap , woke up, realized that my favorite show was starting in a hour ( The Bachelor), So I rushed downstairs and ordered a side of fries that I ate while I was in bed. Oh my goodness that was the best ever!!
I woke up early the next day , went to visit home office from another company that I work for ;). I didn't get to bring my camera but did take some pictures from my phone from some people at home office :) . They even have a slide in their office!! How cool is that?! and yes I got to check it off my list ;).
Then I tried to find directions with the walking person again to a restaurant and that failed aggaaainnn! lol... So I just stopped walking, took a Uber and went to work.
When I came back to the hotel from work, I was starving and went straight to the restaurant they have there. Igot a burger that someone from the hotel had told me about. When I finally got my burger , It looked good and tasted even better. I cleaned my plate. I snapped a quick picture with my phone before devouring it.
Then I went up to my room and was ready to go to bed!. Then I woke up super early to take a early flight back to orange county :) I had my camera so I snapped a couple pictures of the hotel because I fell in love with the style of it. I really liked this hotel.
As I waited to take my flight, I was in love again by the snowy mountains outside the window.
I'm so glad I got to visit Salt Lake City. Next time, I had to do more exploring. I hope you enjoyed the glimpse of my mini trip! :)
