Visiting LDS Temples

There's something special about TEMPLES.
All of them.



They're
PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL, SACRED.


During our month long holiday, we had to opportunity to visit and walk around a lot of them. 17 to be exact. Cam and I didn't have the time to spare to allow us to go inside, but we enjoyed spending the time to take our kids here and walk around the grounds and visit the visitor centres and take in some of their displays.

Here's a look at the ones we visited....

SPOKANE WASHINGTON TEMPLE


COLUMBIA RIVER TEMPLE


OAKLAND TEMPLE
Okay, this temple was simply breath-taking! Might just be our favorite temple that we visited. It wasn't just the temple, it was the amazing view, the roof-top gardens, the small unique details like the statues...
Up on the roof of the temple, there are additional gardens and the most incredible views.


LOS ANGELES TEMPLE


SAN DIEGO TEMPLE
Always one of our favorites. A little disappointed it was closed and we couldn't walk around the grounds for this one.


NEWPORT BEACH CALIFORNIA TEMPLE



REDLANDS TEMPLE


LAS VEGAS TEMPLE



ST. GEORGE UTAH TEMPLE



PROVO UTAH TEMPLE
Cam says this is one of his favorite temples because he could see it out his bedroom window when he was a little boy and he used to live in Provo for a few years.



MOUNT TIMPANOGOS UTAH TEMPLE
This is the only temple we went and saw in the evening when it was all lit up.


DRAPER UTAH TEMPLE



OQUIRRH MOUNTAIN UTAH TEMPLE



JORDAN RIVER UTAH TEMPLE
I thought this was a very pretty temple.



BOUNTIFUL UTAH TEMPLE


SALT LAKE CITY TEMPLE
Ha ha. This picture totally looked like I pasted them into it.



IDAHO FALLS TEMPLE
Unfortunately, this temple was under construction and the grounds were not open.

Well, that's it. I know it was a long posting. Believe me, I know. It took me forever to sort through all 2800 pictures to find these ones.
Anyways, I know it's a lot of photos, but I'm hoping that in them, you'll see some new angles of some temples your familiar with. Something new you might not have seen. Some small detail that just adds to why we love to walk around the temple grounds.
