So it’s already late Thursday afternoon—I’ve been so busy with work and life that this week has flown by! I still have to clear a few more things off of my desk, but I’m definitely looking forward to the weekend and spending some time with my family (my little guy has started saying “mama” and I can’t get enough of that or him!).
Since I’m talking about the weekend and family time, here’s a pitch to bring your family to downtown Salt Lake City this weekend, the home of Discovery Gateway. Downtown Salt Lake City is filled with activity, great restaurants, and unique shopping. The city offers the perfect start to your weekend and here are a few ideas for a memorable outing!
The Downtown Farmer’s Market is conveniently located in historic Pioneer Park. With over 250 vendors ranging from farmers, growers, bakeries, and local artisans, the Market is a perfect place to grab breakfast or lunch, and some fresh staples for the coming week. This historic park (it’s over 160 years old!) offers cool, shaded areas for your family to enjoy their tasty treats. Make sure you get there in the morning because it’s only open on Saturday from 8am – 1pm.
Of course a stop by Discovery Gateway is a must, so just walk a few blocks west from the Market and here you are! Spend the afternoon playing in the Museum, create a dino-themed craft (it’s pasta fossils this Saturday in the Curiosity Shop), and learning about kites and aerodynamics in our CSI class.
You can finish up your day taking care of any shopping needs you might have here in the Gateway Mall, maybe catch a movie at the Megaplex Theater (I still need to see Toy Story 3—I LOVED the first two), and then head home with some fabulous family memories!
Ok, I’m going to work on a few more projects so I can clear my desk tomorrow. Have a great evening and maybe leave me a note about what your family is going to do this weekend.
