Victoria recently did a project for school.
She had to pack a suitcase to one of the Western states.
She choice UTAH.
It was fun to highlight some of the places that people could visit if they went there. And especially fun that we had actual things we got in UT. She had a fun time showing her class her suitcase.
She highlighted--
The Olympic Park:
She was able to take an Olympic logo hat that we actually got when we lived there during the 2002 Olympics. She took a picture of her older sister and Dad standing by State Street in Salt Lake watching the torch run by on it's way to light the flame. Plus she took her ski boots with her so she'd be prepared if they visited.
The Utah
Olympic Park is a winter
sports park built for the 2002 Winter
Olympics, and is located 28 miles
east of Salt Lake City near Park City, Utah. During the 2002 games the park hosted the bobsleigh, skeleton, luge, ski jumping, and Nordic combined events. It
still serves a training center for Olympic and development level athletes.
Other facilities in addition to the ski jumps and bobsled track located on site include a 2002 Winter Olympics and Ski
Museum, day lodge, summer aerial training splash pool, zip lines, and a
mountain coaster.

Arches National Park:
For Arches, she took a quarter from her collection that highlights the Delicate Arch. She also took some hiking boots because you would need those.
Arches
National Park is a US
National Park in
eastern Utah. The
park is located on the Colorado River 4 miles of Moab, Utah. It is known for
containing over 2,000 natural sandstone arches,
including the very famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique
geological resources and formations. The
park is located just outside Moab, Utah, and
is 76,679 acres in area. Its
highest elevation is 5,653 feet at Elephant Butte, and its lowest elevation is
4,085 feet at the visitor center.
Forty-three arches are known to have collapsed since 1977. The park receives 10
inches of rain a year on average.
Mormon Tabernacle Choir:
Victoria was able to take a Christmas CD from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and play a part of a song for her class. Plus she took the replica that we have of the doorknob from the Salt Lake Temple.
Called
"America's Choir" by U.S. President Ronald
Reagan,[4] the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir is made up of 360 men and women; Choir members are not
paid for their participation or performances.
The choir was founded in August 1847. Since
July 15, 1929, the choir has performed a weekly radio
broadcast called Music and the Spoken Word, which
is one of the longest-running continuous radio network broadcasts in the world.[5] The show has been televised since the
early 1960s and is now broadcast worldwide through approximately 1,500radio and television stations.
The
Mormon Tabernacle Choir's sound is often said to be world-famous, and instantly
recognizable. When recording, the choir is usually accompanied by the Orchestra at Temple Square, the Salt Lake Tabernacle's pipe organ, or
both. With the completion of the church's Conference Center, a larger auditorium directly
adjacent to Temple
Square, the choir now has two halls available for performance.
Lots of fun places to see in UTAH!
