Helen and I were invited to join Samantha and Jake in Utah from December 19th through 22nd to celebrate Grandpa George's 90th birthday. We also got to meet more of Jake's family. The entire trip was fantastic. I took tons of pictures ... waaaaaay too many to post here. It is impossible to recite all of our wonderful experiences. But, let there be no doubt, Utah hospitality is second to none.
The day before the birthday party we had a fantastic dinner with Robert and Tracy at The Roof ....
where we also enjoyed the beautiful Christmas lights at Temple Square and a breathtaking view of the Temple.
We got to see Jake's childhood home, his junior high school (and the long hike up the hill toward home), his high school (Bountiful High School ... the home of the Braves), and the University of Utah where Jake got his undergraduate and graduate degrees. It was a blast.
Robert's educational and entertaining driving tour of the City filled us with a wealth of fascinating and historical facts about Salt Lake. It was interesting and fun.
Grandpa George's 90th birthday party was legendary. Here Robert lights 90 birthday candles with a blow torch as Grandpa George looks on.
Here is a glimpse of the yummy birthday dinner (at an interesting African restaurant) that we were privileged to attend:
We will be forever grateful for the warmth and hospitality we received.
Happy 90th Birthday Grandpa George.
