Roof Tops & Views

ROOF #1: Yesterday was sweet Fletcher's birthday. And for his birthday he took ME to The Roof!! Mind you...I said that it was HIS birthday...that was so very sweet of him! Neither one of us had been there but wow is that a great place. Atmosphere, view, a piano man and great food....it was a perfect night. (I recommend the crème brulee').

ROOF #2: Before hand, we decided to take a mini tour of the gardens on top of the Conference Center. If you've never done it, I HIGHLY recommend it! The view is spectacular as well and the little triva that they share on conferencer and particular points around the city is very interesting.

ROOF #3: Our little tour guide did share with us a very interesting story. His cute wife use to work in the skyscraper just across from the temple. When the very unexpected tornado rolled into town in the summer of 1999, like every other downtown Utahan who'd never seen a tornado before, she stood unsafely at the window to watch the tornado come over the top of the Delta Center, across Temple Square and over the Conference Center which was under construction. That tornado caused the giant construction crane to tumble to the ground! I can't imagine what that looked like or even sounded like! Well, it seems that the sound penetrated the thick granite walls of the temple because soon enough this same lady saw 12 men, dressed in white....STANDING ON TOP OF THE TEMPLE!!!! I guess they had come out to see what all the noise was about. LOL. Her confused co-workers wondered aloud who those men were and what they were doing up there. I think those of the LDS faith know just who they were...and I just get a good laugh out of what a sight that must've been. It was only a few people in those taller buildings around the temple who saw the 12 "angels" standing on top of the temple....most likely never to be seen again. That story alone was worth the tour!
