MIWA!!

Our lovely friend Miwa came to visit us here in Utah a few weeks ago!! It was awesome! In fact it gave us the opportunity to visit some places that we had never been to before such as the salt flats and the Salt Palace. The salt flats were pretty crazy, we drove for a looong time expecting to see the white stuff right away but we were almost to Wendover by the time it was really white. The mirages were kind of scary too. It was really hard to tell where there was water and where there wasn't. So from the salt flats we went to temple square and ate at the JS building. It was pretty expensive. We walked around on top of the Conference Center, it was beautiful. Then we drove by the McCuen Mansion, Miwa seemed to be interested in the idea that it was haunted. Then we went to the Capitol building but we couldn't stay long because the kids just wanted to run around. So we walked down to Memorial Grove park and played with dogs. From there we drove to Park City and walked along Main street for a little while before driving home and watching Wall-e. The other days she was here we mostly just went shopping at dollar stores and such. It was pretty wonderful to be able to take her around to see things, she is so SWEET!! Pretty soon we may be able to visit her in Japan more too!
