I may hang around the hotel today.

My Destiny

Souvenir from dinner in Salt Lake City

I wonder what that will be?

Red Iguana

One of my fave places to visit in Salt Lake City is the Red Iguana 2.

This evening we celebrated Genimate Roger's birthday there.

I had to take a photo of my combination plate. Whatever it was it was delish

Huge serving

In Salt Lake City.

A sandwich before bed. Forgot about huge US servings - need someone to share it with!!

Australian Partner

I met a new genimate. @donnyosmond, at Rootstech who won Dancing with the Stars in the US. He told me that his partner was Australian, Kym Johnson.

Photo op for Donny's fans

Charm

I loved the sentiment on my fortune cookie tonight.

A Saturday in Salt Lake

Well here I am in Salt Lake City for the Rootstech Conference. As it was my first day I took it quietly, slept in till 9, had a leisurely breakfast with some genimates and then headed for some retail therapy (don't worry Mr GeniAus - I only bought essential items) came back to the hotel for some R&R then made a short visit to the Family History Library.

Dinner with Roger and Lisa Moffatt was an adventure which ended in a delicious meal at Blue Lemon.

I wondered about these birds until Roger told me that the seagull is the State bird of Utah

A Shoppers' Paradise - The City Creek Center

City Creek - Just the place to recover from a long flight

The Creek runs through the Center - don't know if it's man made or if it follows an original watercourse.

Light lunch at Kneaders - thanks for the tip fellow bloggers

The Temple in Salt Lake City - note the brilliant blue sky

That's the Mormon Tabernacle in Temple Square

And I can't remember what this building next to the Tabernacle is called

I made a positive comment about this chap's car so he fetched an album from the trunk and showed me a picture of his family and the car when he was a baby in 1965. It was previously his Dad's car.

Steak Tacos at Blue Lemon

I couldn't help myself

When I attended the Rootstech Conference in Salt Lake City in March I indulged in a spot of graffiti.

Whilst on a comfort break I found a handwritten note attached to the door of one of the cubicles. It stated "Out of service. Toilet leaks"

I just had to add a few extra words "So do I".

The Holiday Begins

After A Hectic conference Week We Are Leaving Salt Lake City For Chicago.  Presently We Are Sitting In The Airport Waiting For our Flight To Chicago.

Fanfare in Salt Lake City

Those of you who follow my Geniaus blog will know that I hit the ground running in Salt Lake City. I've had a great time so far meeting up with old friends, organising a dinner for the Aussies who are in town and doing a spot of research.

I also exercised restraint on my visit to Macy's only buying one pair of shoes and a couple of other items. The newly opened City Creek shopping center just up the road from the hotel is very tempting.

The Harvard basketball team, their cheer squad and a Harvard band are also resident in our hotel. I travelled down in the lift this morning with a delightful young man and his trombone. He was kind enough to pose for me when we reached the hotel foyer.

More winter warmth

They're certainly no fashion item but my Faux fur lined winter boots purchased for a song from Ross Stores in Salt Lake City are keeping my feet nice and warm.
