Day 7 Vacation - Temple Square and Bryce Canyon, Utah

On Day 7, we visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Temple Square is a complex owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are many beautiful buildings including Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake Tabernacle, and the Salt Lake Assembly Hall. First, we visited the Salt Lake Tabernacle. The tabernacle was unique because you can hear someone speaking from the back of the church without a microphone, thanks for the design of the building. It is such a beautiful church, decorated with marble pillars, staircases, and a magnificent pipe organ. The pipe organ has thousands and thousands of pipes and is truly a piece of art. We also admired the Salt Lake Temple and walked around the complex. After visiting Temple Square, we drove to Bryce Canyon. There were many unique rock formations and it was very pretty. Looking down, we were about 1000 ft. in the air. The wind was very heavy so we quickly ran back to the car. After driving for a few more hours, we arrived at Las Vegas.
