Draper Temple Open House

On Saturday we went to the open house of the Draper Temple. It was beautiful. Everything was very minimalistic in design, and quite modern looking inside. All of the doors were made of African cherry, and they used a lot of limestone imported from France. The theme throughout the interior was the "sego lilly."
It was quite an adventure too. Because there is limited parking at the temple, and it is so cold outside, you have to park at a nearby chapel and ride a bus to the temple.
At the chapel, they show a short film about temples, then you hop on a commercial bus which drives you to the temple. You then walk through a heated, tent-covered walkway to the doors of the temple. Once inside, you just follow the protective floor coverings through the building. When you are done, you even get refresments!

Where did you get it? And no problem-lets definitely meet up later. We really are right off 90th south. It would be fun. Josh was saying we should all go to Buca Di Beppo. "All" meaning you guys and Devin of course. Do you like Buca? We LOVE it! Maybe not this weekend but next? How is that looking for you?
