Choose Your Own Adventure

I decided that I was going to make Saturdays my explore Utah days.  I haven't always been the best at this, but when I have put forth the effort to find new places and experience thse places near and far to me I have had a marvelous time.

This Saturday I decided to visit the the capital city here in my state and discover something, anything that I had never experienced before.  Wonderfully my wish was granted.  I ended up walking around The Avenues and stumbled upon a Memory Park.  This park was off a road that I'm not certain that you would normally find a reason to follow and I don't remember seeing any signs that lead to this park.  It was purely by accident that I found it in the first place.

 The Memory Park was a vast stretch of lawn that was dedicated to all the brave soldiers who had sacrificed their lives in all the wars since the 1st world war.  There were statues, fountains, memorials, and even a contemplation chapel where you could sit (if it were open) and contemplate.  The stained glass in and of itself in the chapel was worth seeing.

I was truly amazed at what I found and I am so grateful for stumbling upon it.  My challenge to you would be to go out in the world around you.  Find the special places that only need to be discovered to be enjoyed.  I know that the more I explore the happier I become.
