The purpose of this three day weekend is to visit the annual Tulip Festival at Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point. We've seen it before and it is spectacular. We'll explore a few other things while we're in the area.
Three hundred sixty uneventful miles to Salt Lake. Weather clear, in the 60s. First stop was a truck stop breakfast at Boise Stage.
We left the freeway for a few miles at Perry, taking Rt 89 south to find the "Fruit Way". Some orchards in bloom, but not very impressive!! Back on the freeway to horrible traffic all the way to downtown. We spend an hour or so walking around Temple Square, admiring the beautiful spring flowers. The place is in a bit of disarray due to the monstrous construction project going on a the Temple itself. They have along way to go! The city seems to be still shut down due to continuing Covid-19 virus restrictions.
We're staying two nights at a well worn Sleep Inn in South Salt Lake. Tomorrow IKEA, Thanksgiving Point tulip festival and perhaps a loop drive up to Timpanogos Caves area.
