weekday getaway

the view from our Bed and Breakfast, Inn on the Hill, in SLC

Brian and I planned an overnighter to set some goals, make some plans, reconnect.  We started at this place: The Kura Door (check it out) then had a fabulous lunch at this fun place in Sugar House.  Then we checked into our bed and breakfast and headed to City Creek. We at dinner at the Copper Onion (highly recommend) and finished off with the Salt Lake Film Society.  The next morning we went to the temple then headed home.  Believe it or not, we managed to get all our goals set, and make plans for the coming year: Josh comes home, Clark starts culinary school, Amy takes the ACT, Nate and Mindy and Holden are off to grad school in the East and Colin begins his junior at BYU. We've welcomed a foreign exchange student, Elisa, who Amy is excited to have as a roommate and buddy. We had some  goals to set, plans to make! Empty nesting is busy!!

On the SLC historical register, the Inn on the Hill (Capital Hill) was fashioned after an English manor. The living room walls were, and still are, covered with leather and canvas hand painted by then famous local artist, William Culmer

...this is us sneaking in the front door late at night after the film festival...shhhhh...

I thought I should take a picture of the door, since, well, it's named for it:  The Kura Door.. I have heard and read so much about this place, and yes, it lives up to the reputation--really an amazing experience.
