Day 1 in Salt Lake City: The Arrival
Despite a 30 minute delay in my flight from Denver to Salt Lake City, the trip to “Convention-land” was delightful! I met up with my good friends Mike Funke and Ginger Toivonen and we took the shuttle to our hotel.
After getting settled into our rooms, it was time for a walking tour around downtown Salt Lake City.
One view of the Salt Palace…the site of Convention!
A fabulous fountain!
Beautiful wrought iron fencing!
Flowers were everywhere!
Could this little bird have been the model for Nature Walk?
Gorgeous Devereaux Mansion, the first one in the city
The Surrounding Mountains
Mike Funke is in awe of the picture he has taken!
What’s on tomorrow’s agenda? We will be able to pick up our Convention bags, after which we will peruse the display boards. At 1:00 I will be taking the VIP Tour of the Riverton Campus, site of the Stampin’ Up! Headquarters. This will be followed by a VIP Meet and Greet with Shelli herself. The evening will end with the Kick-Off Party. As for now, 5:00 AM came quite early, so it is off to bed for me! I can’t wait for the fun to begin! Until next time…
I was at convention as well. I kept an eye out for you, but alas never saw you in the throngs of people. Darn it anyhow!
Awesome!!!! Give everyone a hug for me!!! Hugs,
Sigh – wish I was there with you and Mike and all the other stampers! Thanks for the picture memories from last year. Looking forward to more! Take some of the boards so we can see the ideas – especially the Artisan winners (I think that’s what they are called).
Woof, woof, 🙁 – miss you and my sweetheart! 🙁
Thanks for the inside look at your trip so far!!! How was the security process? Hopefully it was a breeze! That mansion looks gorgeous!
I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures Ann!! Hope you have a GREAT time!
