Sweet's Candy and LDS Temple Square-September 26, 2011

What an interesting day this was. First we easily found Sweet's Candy Company. All of you have had Sweet's products but may not be aware who made it. They've been in business since 1892. I did business with them when I had my own candy store. It was great to see it and all of their new products. We had wanted to tour the plant, but it closed last Friday until Oct. 15th. Just our luck. We had to settle for shopping in the store. Oh, yummy. After a shot of sugar, we headed downtown to the LDS Temple Square and City Center. As we do in all cities we walked the streets. What better way to see a city than to walk the streets. There is so much construction going on in downtown SLC, it was difficult to walk from one street to another. Not street construction, but building construction. What in town is not sparkling and new will be in another 6 months. Temple Square itself was really very nice. It is as clean as it can be. It is shady and cool. The flowers are beautiful. The spires on the buildings are quite impressive indeed. It was actually a treat to see it. Since it is still summer here, it was a pretty hot walk, but we enjoyed the exercise anyway. We stopped at a Five Guys burger restaurant for lunch. It has been highly recommended to us but today was our first trip there. I am not a red meat eater, but I can tell you I enjoyed every bite of that little cheeseburger. It was absolutely delicious. We are back now and planning tomorrow's excursion. It is a treat to be here, but do we have to see it again? No, we don't. It's dusty, dirty, hot and dry. We must hunt for cooler weather.
