City Creek Center

"Mormon's Build Massive Mall" was the headline of the one of the nation's biggest newspapers in March when the new City Creek Center in downtown Salt Lake opened.  It just makes me laugh.  Did you know it is also the only new mall to open in about 6 years?!

Anyway, my Mom wanted to go check it out and wanted me to show her how to use Trax- our light rail train in the valley.  So the kids and I happily tagged along one Friday in May.  Here Princess is showing Grandma the ropes of the train.

City Creek Center certainly lived up to all of "the hype".  It was everything people were talking about and more.  There are only a few stores there I can actually afford to shop in- but it is fun to see everything else too!  And the scenery is gorgeous!!  We did some window shopping and checking out the fountains.

We ate lunch at Kneaders. 

This mall has a Chick-fil-A, Kneader's, AND a Cheesecake Factory!  Does it get any better than that?!  Well, maybe if they added a Sconecutter- but that would probably lower the classiness of the place!  LOL!  We let the kids play at the indoor playground for a bit.  I took lots of cute pictures that were too blurry or didn't turn out sadly.

I bought a new hat and some jewelery and Princess bought a little purse to hold those stylin' star sunglasses she got at lunch.  Then we let the kids play in the little splash pad before we headed home.  It was such a fun outing!
