  2. Salt Lake City, Utah (Days 4 and 5)

    The past two days in Salt Lake City, Utah have been gorgeous. Yesterday (7/2/06) we drove from Cheyenne,Wyoming to Salt Lake City, which is surrounded by mountains (gorgeous). We ended up having sushi in downtown SLC for dinner. Ichiban Japanese and Sushi is rated by Zagat as one of the top 100 restaurants (in the United States?) and the sushi was absolutely out of this world. Almost all of their rolls were specialty rolls, original to the restaurant. The coolest part about the restaurant was that it was built in an old Lutheran church – complete with gorgeous stained glass windows, high ceilings and wooden floors. A must if you are in SLC and love sushi.

    Today (7/3/06) we got up and had a late breakfast/brunch at the Original Pancake House. The restaurant was packed with families, but amidst the noise it was worth it! Ryan and I split a pancake with baked apples, sugar and cinnamon and a crepe with chicken, olives, mushrooms, and green peppers. Wow!

    Later in the day we headed over to Antelope Island, which is in the Great Salt Lake. At first we just had the intention of walking around and taking pictures, but it was so hot we dug out our bathing suits from the car and went swimming for a bit in the lake. I must say, it is the most amazing feeling. It isn’t possible to sink in the water - your body buoys in every possible position.

    After coming back to the hotel and relaxing/showering, we headed out to dinner (Macaroni Grill) and then walked around the Mormon Temple Grounds which was beautiful. Ryan had the comment of evening, “I would join the church just for the facilities!”

    Overall, a wonderful two days in Salt Lake City.
