Sunday & Monday: Days 8 & 9: Jackson Hole, WY - Salt Lake City, UT, 294 miles

It was back in the car on Sunday morning... of course we stopped to grab a latte on our way out of Jackson Hole. I think we had coffee at all three of the town's coffee shops during our visit. :) It was a bit snowy so we took our time and enjoyed each others company. As new parents we spend most waking moments talking, playing, and taking care of Keira so adult conversation in the car (while Keira is asleep) is a must. We arrived in Salt Lake City early in the afternoon, hung out and then had dinner at the Blue Iguana, not to be confused with the Red Iguana (which Naveen decided had the better mole).

Monday was spent walking around Salt Lake City (even though all the locals that we were nuts, apparently this is a driving city). We had breakfast at Bay Leaf Cafe, enjoyed touring Temple Square where Keira was a big hit with all the Sisters, and then ate lunch at Vesuvio. Took an afternoon drive up to Park City to check out the ski resorts. Hopefully the next time we are in Salt Lake City it will be for some time on the slopes! For dinner we really wanted to try out Takashi which had amazing reviews from other SF tourists. While the employees were super nice the restaurant itself did not appear to be kid-friendly so we ordered take-out and had a picnic in our hotel room. All in all I would have to say we had a great experience in Salt Lake City. The people were nice and the food was better than expected.
