Random Spring Photos

In April, Jon and I went to Thanksgiving Point to attend the Tulip Festival. We went the first weekend and since we have had such a harsh winter, there weren't very many tulips. But we only paid $8 a person to walk around all the gardens. There were still alot of flowers to look at. They also had food vendors and entertainment so it was still alot of fun. These are just a few pics that Jon took as we walked around. All the gardens are themed which is pretty neat.










This is a fountain from one of the gardens and I beleive it was the Ventian Garden or something like that. But there is a statue all the way at the top.



The last garden was The Secret Garden and it's just like the movie/book. It has a wall around it and looks just like you would imagine.

This goose had made her nest in this garden and if you sat in the the right place you could see her really well. Jon took some great pics of her.








For my birthday, we decide to go to The Roof restaurant at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in downtown Salt Lake City. This was our veiw. I has specifically requested a window seat so we could overlook Temple Square. It was a very nice buffet with prime rib, chicken, fish, salads, cheese platters, yummy desserts, etc., etc. It was definitely very memorable for me.
