Trip up north

Well, at the last minute due to a private matter(which does not need to be disscussed), from the 9th through the 12th I was in Salt Lake.

My Mom had a training course to teach a class in the Commonwealth called Pyramid Project, and she decided to take me with her. It was at the Library in Salt Lake, and it is the coolest library ever!

The Library is four stories high, and it includes a basement. On the left of the picture there are bars. Those are the Glass elevators. (yes I am tottaly serious, willy wonka's glass elevator is not the only one.) There are about three of them, and on each one, there is part of a quote. It reads "A man who lives in a glass house must throw no stones." Each one has a part of that on it. They are scary to ride in, but fun all at the same time.
On the right of the picture there are little sections, which contain stores or display areas. There is a little cafe at the very end, and it sells the most yummy veggie wrap ever! There is also an area that has a payphone and ATM, and a gift shop. On the second floor of the left side there are tables and chairs to sit and study or eat at. Outside, there are fountains of water. This has to be the most awesome library, in fact, that library was voted Library of the Year in 2006.

We also went to IKEA, a huge furniture store. On the Second floor, there are display areas and designs of rooms, and everything in the room is for sale, or you can buy the whole room if you want to. At certain parts of the store, there are little pencils and papers to write the number of an item you would like, on each price tag there is a section that has a few numbers. You write those numbers on that paper, and when you are done looking, you give it to an employee to go and get those items for you. On the first floor there is a warehouse space, that carries all of the items that they sell. The isles are numbered according to the number of the item, It looks more like a home depot or lowes on the first floor, while it looks like a RC Willey on the second floor. Everything in the store is resonably priced, you can go inside with twenty bucks and buy a whole lot of stuff! They have dollar items, and lots of awesome storage ideas.

I had loads of fun! I will be going back up to salt lake again this week for youth confrence... the only reason I am exited to go is because we are going to lagoon! (YAY!) I think I will have had enough traveling by then.
