A Day Away

What do you get when your husband helps a friend out and does a complete engine swap? You get a day away in Salt Lake City at a bed and breakfast! Curtis and I had the opportunity to stay at the Armstrong Mansion for an evening. It was sooo neat! The house had so many neat features! Everything was so intricate and hand carved. We loved checking out each individual room and learning about the houses unique history. I would recommend staying there to anyone who wants to experience a bed and breakfast in SLC for a decent price. Oh and of course the breakfast was superb. Here is a link for those who wan to check it out!

Curtis in one of the jacuzzi s. This particular one was in the Febuary room. A private spiral staircase leads to this jacuzzi located at the top of the turret, the highest location in the Mansion.

The photo above Curtis and I, is a picture of the Armstrong Family. Large family don't you think?? Mr. Armstrong was an amazing man too! Look him up.

Look at the ceiling molds in this house! Isn't it amazing! Everything was hand carved and painted and was modeled after the Anne Victorian style in England.

See those neat stairs! Again everything hand carved. Mr. Armstrong did a lot of it himself.

oh and if you are wondering why we are dressed up, we were planning on going to the temple that morning but could not find parking that lasted for longer than 2 hours. Busy day at the SLC temple! And thanks to everyone who made our little getaway possible!

  1. I love the Armstrong Mansion! And yes- their breakfast is to DIE for. We have stayed there 4 times (on our anniversaries just about every other year). What room did you stay in?
