Salt Lake City side trip


Well, it's been a busy two days. Tim really started to experience pain in his right elbow on Thursday night and it began to swell and get red. Before he left home, he hit his elbow on a tractor sustaining a cut. He did have some pus several days ago but thought it was better.... NOT! We knew he needed to see an MD but we were in Montana in the middle of no where. I looked online and found a hospital that had a "fast track" to see him in the ER in Salt Lake City which was 5 hours away. When we got to the hosptial, after waiting for many hours, the doctor decided that Tim had cellulitis and needed an IV antibiotic and all kinds of bloodwork. We really weren't planning on going in to Salt Lake City at all, just passing through.
As Tim was getting bloodwork, I took the girls to see some of the city. We were right by Temple Square which is 35 acres in the center of town owned by the Mormons. I wanted to get a picture of the Mormon temple that is so famous. We got in and out of there quickly... I felt a little disloyal. We also got a picture of the capitol building which I think looked like the congress. After the long afternoon and evening at the hosptial, we traveled 4 hours to HOT Moab, UT.
