Friday night, Matthew and I decided to be spontaneous. This is pretty much a miracle because as parents, spontaneity kind of took a back seat. Between the two car seats apparently. So, as last minute as we could, we decided to take a day trip to somewhere in Utah we've never been. So, we got up Saturday morning, and took off to Manti, Utah. It's about 2-2 1/2 hours south of Murray. We packed a cooler with water and sandwiches, fruits and veggies, and my kids new favorite - Sponge Bob Go Gurt and spent the afternoon in a new city. That would be "city" in the "in the middle of no where" terms.
We saw the amazing temple there and saw four couples that had just been married out taking pictures on the grounds. If you have never seen the Manti temple, I suggest you go when you can. I absolutely loved it. We drove through the city and found a playground to have our picnic and let the kids play for a while. Matthew got some sun on his forehead. After a while, we went back to the temple to take pictures by the sign, which is something that Matthew and I have done since we started dating. And then we started our journey back home.
Manti is a pretty historical place in Utah. I had no idea. I figured the next time we go there, I want to do research beforehand and see all the historical sites. I'm excited for that, next time.
Yes, I keep saying next time because we WILL be going again. Why? Because, we took LOTS of pictures. Beautiful pictures of the temple and the grounds. The hilarious pictures I took at the playground. And some random ones in the car to have in memory of this trip. But, as you might have noticed, none of these are up.
The batteries in my camera died on our trip. When I tried one more time to turn my camera on, something glitched in my camera and I lost not just the pictures from Manti, but everything that was on my memory card. Sad. So.. yes... I think we will be going again. We need our picture in front of the Manti, Utah Temple sign.
Maybe this summer for the Manti Pageant!

I think the town of Manti itself is a little weird, personally. I do, however LOVE the temple there. Not only is the outside gorgeous, but inside is indescribable (sp?). My favorite by far. Ok..side note...I just typed "fart" instead of far. Made me laugh...I know...what am I 12? haha. Glad you got away and had fun!
