...And when I say Salt Lake City, I mean lots of Salt Lake City! Last week we traveled there 5 times! For people like me and Dave who think a trip to Wal Mart is a road trip, that is a lot of driving. It has just taken a lot of State stuff to get our Visas for Korea. First we had to both get criminal background checks, take those to the state capitol to get the Lt. Governor to put an official seal and call it an Apostille. We didn't realize what a short time line we were on so we ordered it to come in a few days (the least expensive way of course!) then that night we realized that we needed it sooner, so we drove back up the next day to pick it up (Luckily they didn't charge us extra because they had already finished it). We rushed that document to Korea which was very expensive, to say the least. Then I dragged Dave back up that Saturday for an important reception I wouldn't miss for the world. Then we hear back from our employer that the Korean government didn't accept our Apostille. After some frantic phone calls we found out that they had given us the wrong document at the Capitol, so we drove back up, got the right document, and rushed it to Korea (which was another expensive rush documents to Korea!) Wow, 4 times in 5 days and we thought we were on a roll... luckily last minute my Dad flew me home instead of me and Lucy having to drive through the night to California with Dave, and so I was overjoyed as our wonderful friends drove me to the Salt Lake one last time, for a total of 5 trips to Salt Lake in a 7 day period!
Of course, I had never truly enjoyed the Capitol (I went to a dance there once as a Freshmen at BYU, but other than that I didn't really know what went on there) so it was fun to spend some quality time there.
Our Capitol is gorgeous...
Lucy liked it too.
hey, who are these good looking people?
Look at the beautiful architecture. Lucy agrees by the raising of the right hand. It is so ancient looking, but all the murals are of Pioneers. The one portrayed behind me and Lucy especially impressed me. You can't really see it in this picture, but in the covered wagon is a lady nursing her baby. As hard as it is being a Mother and how I am dreading a 12 hour flight with our little one, if the pioneers could nurse in covered wagons as they crossed the planes, I really shouldn't be a half day plane flight!
More Pioneers. 
I keep getting pictures of this good looking pair...
We met a little puppy inside who was training to be a seeing eye dog. I think that topped the whole experience for Lucy. She sure cried when we had to stop petting her. What a sweet little puppy.
And here is our second trip to Salt Lake. Lucy and I visited City Hall while Dave finished mailing off the documents, and I couldn't resist a photo sesh!
I just noticed how the flower on her shirt matches the flowers in the picture. Cute!
We will miss you Utah! Thanks for all the good times!
