Montana Trip - Day 8

[woke up around 0715 - still feeling tired - spent morning on finances, emails, etc. - organized for final day at Library - left around 0945 - drove back to Salt Lake City (I-15) - free parking today (behind Church History Museum) - research (Ireland records) from 1030 to 1330 - went to lunch at JB's again (club sandwich) - back to work, it was harder to concentrate and keep going (three days in a row at the library tired me out!) - didn't leave until around 1945L - put my genealogy stuff in the car (24 pages of notes) and then spent about an hour walking around Temple Square and the immediate environs - it was very pleasant - lots of families out walking (dressed up) - quiet gardens, flowing water, pretty lights - realized I'd missed a few other tours and a quaint restaurant in the Lion House (next to Beehive House) - explored and read lots of historical markers - stumbled across the old Hotel Utah, now converted to a Joseph Smith Memorial - went to 10th floor and ate dinner at The Garden Restaurant - view of the Temple from my table (from above!) - good food (wedge salad, fettuccine pasta (with chicken) - nice old hotel - walked back to my car after that (2115L) and headed back to Layton - dragging, but feeling pretty satisfied with what I found this week at the Library - got to bed around 2330L.]
