We started at the University of Utah hospital, where all 3 of our children were born!
The outside has changed, but inside, Labor and Delivery looked exactly the same!! I have a picture of me, pregnant with Angel, standing in this very spot!)
Next, we headed up the hill to the University of Utah married student housing, where we lived from 2008-2010. The kids are standing right in front of our apartment, 1450 (the middle floor).
Here they are at the court playground, where Angel and Grins both learned how to ride their bikes!
From there, we hiked through City Creek Canyon - a walk we took nearly every Sunday Spring through Fall while we lived there. Though the creek had shifted somewhat, and our favorite bridge had been removed, we were able to find our old favorite picnic area.
It was a picture perfect day in our perfect little picnic spot!
We finished our little tour at Temple Square - another location we used to frequent on Sundays during our years in Salt Lake City.
We took a tour of the Conference Center. During all our previous visits to the conference center, we had never been on the roof! It did not disappoint!

We then visited the former Ronald McDonald House, which was both Angel's and Grins' first home (we moved a few months before Wiggles was born).
Then we visited the incredible downtown SLC public library, where I took Angel and Grins for story time almost every single week that we lived in SLC. They didn't remember it - but I remember SO many hours there - playing in their different themed rooms, nursing each of them in the mother's room, the hundreds of fun and clever preschool and baby story times we attended, and so forth.

Then we headed further up the hill to the Shrieve's house, where we lived for a year (2008-2009) when Wiggles was born.

The children enjoyed our various 'landmarks' and hearing stories of when they were little - but for the the Mr. and I, it was precious. The memories of our children as infants and babies, and those precious first years as a young family came flooding back. It made me miss those wonderful times with all of my heart - while at the same time, filled my heart with gratitude for the wonderful memories we have with our children. It meant so much to be able to see so many special places again!! I only hope it won't be so many years before we visit again!!
