We took a big trip this past week to Utah. We drove up and saw one of my best friends get married in the Jordan River Temple. It was a fun drive because while driving we go through Vegas. While there we stopped to get out and walk round a bit. It was about 2:00 in the morning but we needed to stretch a bit. well, we tsopped at the belagio (I think that is spelled wrong but whatever) and went to the gardens there. they were amazing. they had taken a huge tree and made a rain forrest type place. they also made a whole bunch of models of Washington DC and other things in US history. I think it will be there through the 4th but we took pictures to share with everyone.
This is me by a replica of the liberty bell. I thought it was really cool.
This is the capital building. they also made these little figurines of people and had them on the outside and inside a couple of the other buildings.
This is what is called the Mall. The washington monument is on the left and the lincoln memorial is on the right. In between that is the national cathedral. they also have a reflecting pool in the middle but you can't see that.
This is the jefferson memorial. in the next picture you can see the man they made for the inside. that is a statue of thomas Jefferson that is really inside the real jefferson memorial.
This is Mount Rushmore. I have never been there but It looked cool in the wood. this was kind of up away from the other things but it was still really cool to see it.
It was so much fun to see it all. I used to live about 20 minutes form DC so it was expecially neat for me to get to say to matthew that this is what it was like. I think it is amazing the things people can do with art and the skills people have.
