The option appeared to be have Hannah take light rail to the bottom of the hill. We went into town early and were going to ride the light rail to see how the roads were. Well, light rail wasn't running. We got gas, found out where the restaurant was that we were going to have lunch and then we decided to just see how far up we could go. All our anxiety was for naught. The roads were fine. They had been plowed. There was still quite a bit of snow on the ground.
We were early to pick up Hannah so just pulled into a parking lot and listened to the last of an audio book. Hannah texted and asked us to meet her at a certain place. Well, we never could find it so Hannah had to do a little extra walking. We ended up getting to the restaurant just on time.
Thanksgiving dinner was in a different setting but the food was very good. They served family style. We had nice thick slices of turkey breast, fresh green beans, real mashed potatoes, gravey, and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie for dessert. We didn't quite get the family style because we ordered terimisu (because Hannah hadn't tried it and Karen wanted some). We dessert came there were 3 pieces of pumpkin pie and a very large bowl of terimisu. We brought leftovers back to the room.
After eating we ran Hannah back to her room to get some clothes and then the 3 of us came back to our room. We played a card game called 3/13 and a dice game called Zilch. It was a lot of fun.
We had laundry to do (and the laundry room was right next door to our room). When we were next door doing laundry, Hannah was resting.
Hannah and Karen went and swam and sat in the hot tub while Chuck had a little quiet time. Then we made plans for tomorrow and took Hannah back to the dorm.
We looked for a place to have dinner on the way. It was dark and there were some very nice Christmas lights in downtown Salt Lake. We were getting close to the dorm and hadn't found anything open but then there was a Burger King. Ate and then took Hannah home. It was still very wintery at the college even though lower there was no sign of snow.
We came to our room and relaxed and got caught up on things.
What a wonderful day with our precious granddaughter. We were so blessed and thankful to be a part of Hannah's first Thanksgiving away from home, her first snow fall in SLC, a couple new restaurants, and just time to be together.
